To be honest it’s not even a poor or live in the sticks problem as far I know. I live in the Netherlands, a country with one of the best communications infrastructure in the world and also a rich country, pretty much everyone has fibre unless you’re in some real rural places.

Pleb’s internet connection still sucks here with these ridiculous 1Gbit/s connection speeds, because they put one Chinese crapware router down in the corner of their house and expect the WLAN signal to be useful after going through 7 walls, a whole floor and like 10+ meters.

That Experia Box 12 isn’t even sending a stable 250Mbit over WLAN if you were right on top of it.

You can by placing a registry key IIRC. But if you do that then you’ll run into issues installing later builds of Win11 and cumulative updates, meaning your system will be just as unpatched (security risk) as windows 10 in a few months.

If you care enough to do an unsupported upgrade for security updates, you truly should look into using Linux instead, like Mint
