Looks like the Bluetooth problem was that I was using an old USB Bluetooth adapter instead of the mobo Bluetooth--I didn't initially realize it had Bluetooth. Installing the mobo Bluetooth driver did it, I did get some laggy typing initially but I guess the wifi antenna that came with the mobo also works with Bluetooth because putting that on fixed the lag so seems like the lag was just a weak Bluetooth connection.

lol I'm a dummy, I was absolutely convinced the problem was with my ISP's router but it looks like the problem was actually the motherboard on my old computer (mobo was 10 years old) only having megabit. Noticed just now that I was getting my full advertised speed downloading games on Steam over ethernet on the new computer. Still not the best router and only WiFi 5, but it moves into good enough territory knowing the ports are actually gigabit.

Apparently it's a pretty rampant issue that's been going on for at least a year that this just doesn't work with Windows 11. Scattered reports of people fixing it themselves but of course no useful details on how to replicate. ngl tempted to just wipe this drive and do a Windows 10 install instead.
