"Couldn't Download - Network Issue" message when trying to download large files.

I recently upgraded my laptop to Windows 11, and I cannot for the life of me figure out why I am unable to download larger files (8GB is really not that big) from any browser I try. My internet connection is not the issue as I am able to download the RHEL iso I want on my iMac, which is on the same network, just fine. No matter what browser I use the download begins, gets to about 100MB or so and then stops. I always receive the same error "Couldn't Download - Network Issue".

I have tried the following actions with no success:

Verified I have the current driver for my wireless adapter which I do.

BIOS is currently updated to the current version.

Ran the troubleshooter:

Open Settings.
Click on Update & Security.
Click on Troubleshoot.
Under the "Recommended troubleshooting" section, click the Additional troubleshooter's option.
Under the "Get up and running" section, select the Internet Connections troubleshooter.

Click the Run the troubleshooter button.
Select the Troubleshoot my connection to the Internet option.
Select the Try these repairs as an administrator option (if applicable).
Continue with the on-screen directions (if applicable).

Reset the network stack:

  1. Open Start.
  2. Search for Command Prompt, right-click the top result, and select the Run as administrator option.
  3. Type the following command to reset the component that handles network requests and press Enter:

netsh winsock reset

  1. Type the following command to reset the internet protocol stack and press Enter:

netsh int ip reset

  1. Type the following command to clear the current networking configuration and press Enter:

ipconfig /release

  1. Type the following command to reconfigure the network settings and press Enter:

ipconfig /renew

  1. Type the following command to clear the DNS information cached and press Enter:

ipconfig /flushdns

  1. Restart your computer.
    Once you complete the steps, launch the web browser and confirm the internet is working.

Reset the network adapter:

Open Settings.
Click on Network & Internet.
Click on Status.
Under the "Advanced network settings" section, click the Network reset option.
Click the Reset now button.
Click the Yes button.
After you complete the steps, the computer will restart automatically, and on reboot, you should now be able to connect to the internet.

Running out of ideas...

Really appreciate any guidance that could be provided.

Thanks!
