backport-iwlwifi-dkms was completly unstable (drop udp packet bigger than somes bytes )
After removing it worked but with slow speed ..
Without backport-iwlwifi-dkms, wifi was slow on Focal until the last kernel update.
With 5.4.0-31 I recover good performance with over 100Mbs.
Before this kernel it was aroud 3-10Mbs/s
If I remember well I think built-in wifi was slow since my upgrade to focal ( probably starting with 5.4.0-25)
For Focal users , remove backport-iwlwifi-dkms and UPDATE your kernel
I have play a lot with driver option to try to recover stability and performance before this kernel update ..
I now use in
/etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf:
>options iwlwifi debug=1 swcrypto=1 disable_msix=1 disable_11ac=1 disable_11ax=1 power_save=0 bt_coex_active=0
I will check later if I can revert some of this options to default value with 5.4.0-31

There is 3 fix for iwlwifi in https:/ /cdn.kernel. org/pub/ linux/kernel/ v5.x/ChangeLog- 5.4.31 /cdn.kernel. org/pub/ linux/kernel/ v5.x/ChangeLog- 5.4.33 /cdn.kernel. org/pub/ linux/kernel/ v5.x/ChangeLog- 5.4.36
and more pending to get into Focal maybe
