Common WIFI dongle problem of falling of network:
Power management feature is enabled in default for device 8192cu. Having following file resolves the issue:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf # prevent power down of wireless when idle options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0

Set static address to wifi interface:
Edit /etc/network/interfaces. If the setup for wlan looks like following,
allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet manual wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf iface default inet dhcp
modify as follows:
allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet manual wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf iface default inet static address your-address netmask your-netmask gateway your-gateway
