Here's the firmware hotfix you're referring to: XR500 Firmware Version 2.3.2.32
Hopefully that fixes the issue. If not, let us know.

Thanks! I was using a newer firmware version. Shame the fix didn't make it into that. But, knock on wood, I've been running the firmware you linked for a couple days and haven't experienced any disconnects. If we can get a few more days of uninterupted service, I'll mark this as an accepted answer. Just don't want to be too hasty, because as soon as I am, it will start dropping left and right. Thanks again Alex!

Sorry for the delay in replay. I'm in the middle of a move between cities and it is super hectic. I must not have knocked on wood hard enough, because almost immediately after posting that the fix seemed to be working, the drops started again and have continued to this day. Not much else to say on the subject, as you can imagine. But wanted to update you guys in case you had another fix up your sleeve. Thanks so much!

Also good luck with the move!
