If it’s periodically dropping, I doubt that it’s going to be the userspace WiFi backend. I’d be more-inclined to blame either the driver or an (unlabeled) hardware variation.

If you’re using NetworkManager, then create the file /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/wifi_backend.conf, and add the following configuration:
