Derek, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/xps-13-9333/drivers an update to your BIOS is available (A04). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a04 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - Wifi dropping on dell xps 9333 + [Dell XPS 9333] WiFi dropping on -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1330698 Title: [Dell XPS 9333] WiFi dropping on Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Wifi drops on Intel Corporation Wireless 7260, on a Dell XPS 9333. It happens on a D-Link DIR-625 but not on a Netgear WNDR4500 wireless router. The main symptom is, even while next to the router, the connection stops responding every other minute, for minutes at a time. It seems if I leave my computer running the command "ping 8.8.8.8" it will ping for roughly a minute, fine, and then stop, then resume, and so on.
