tmobile has NOTHING AT ALL to do with developers. They deal strictly with end users. Just because you happen to be a software developer does NOT make your phone magically become an ADP1 (which is entirely independent of tmobile). You would have to have purchased specifically a developer phone.
Regarding the wifi connection thing.... just set the thing to keep the screen awake when plugged in and leave it plugged in. Either that, or install one of the wifi lock programs on the market that will keep the wifi active despite the screen going off. Of course, being a developer, it would probably make sense for you to convert your consumer device into a developer phone. The hack is pretty simple -- you install an rc29 image, start telnet, get root, and install engineering bootloader, then you can just install the ADP1 v1.5 images from htc.com. Check the forums at xda (do a google search for it) for more specific info.
