Ventura: How do I prevent the network from sleeping?

Ever since upgrading to Ventura, my network keeps putting itself to sleep when the computer has been inactive for ~10 minutes. Previously there was a system preferences setting that allowed one to prevent the network from sleeping when plugged in. Is there still a way to do so?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.1

First of all, there was never such a setting to prevent the network from ‘sleeping’. The network only sleeps when the computer itself sleeps so you need to check your settings for that. There is a setting to Wake for Network Access.
