The solution to fixing the dock issues (partially) is to swap out the wifi card. The Broadcom card puts out lots of interference (no issues with a Intel AC wireless card).
This is a great example of an Apple-style solution vs a Dell style solution.
Just bought a laptop, and now you need to start hacking it up and changing the wifi-card so it doesn't cause interference to itself? What next, break out the soldering iron and go over all the cold joints?
