ethernet/internet

I have an imac that "goes to sleep" after it is idle a while. My ehternet port goes red when it does and then my wireless does not seem to work. I like having my desk top hooked to ethernet rather than wireless. is there a way to work aroung this?

    I would disable sleep mode and just turn it off then on when using. Nothing in the router to change.
