Unstable wifi connection leads to non-responding desktop and programs

I'm new to Ubuntu and running it in Version 16.04.4 LTS on a Thinkpad L560. Currently I experience issues with my wifi connection: Sometimes the connection drops (although the status bar shows that I am connected) and I experience a high paket loss when I ping a server. At the same time, any action I perform with the desktop is not executed until I disable the wifi. With ethernet I have no problem, so I guess it is an issue with my wifi drivers.
My wireless chipset is the Intel Wireless 8260, sudo lshw -C network says the driver version is 4.13.0-41-generic with firmware version 31.560484.

Have you try to restart your wifi network? You can do it with
sudo service network-manager restart

It worked, but not for long. Problem remains, and at the time it occurs I can only deactivate wifi in the status bar, any console input is delayed until then. After that I can activate wifi again and it works properly for some time.

so your wifi didn't stay connected when you restart it? have you try the command above in the terminal, or you just restart the wifi with the graphic tools of ubuntu?
