I am trying to check my wifi speed, but on OpenWrt with opkg it I can find it, but in Bionic I can't find it, this is the output:

root@bitang:~# apt update && apt list | grep iperf
Reading package lists... Done

All packages are up to date.

Using a standard installation of Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon 64-bit, these packages are contained in the standard repositories. Performing the command you issued above on a mostly clean, unmodified LM19 installation yields the following results:

5 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.

Note the difference here where the update portion is actually parsing and updating from the repositories, either you neglected to copy & paste this output into your question, or you appear to not have any repositories active.

I would suggest opening Update Manager in the GUI, and going to Edit - Software Sources, and on the Official repositories tab, at the bottom, click Restore the default settings and then close the window and select Refresh.

Software Manager application also shows iperf and iperf3 are in the repository and available for installation.
