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.

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.

  See bug #1315221
