I'm using V1.0.6.28_1.1.83 and experiencing random internet disconnects a few times a day. This problem started a couple weeks ago. 1.0.5.62 sounds like a downgrade from 1.0.6. Am I misunderstanding the meaning of these version strings? Would you recommend I try switching to this beta 1.0.5.62 if my current firmware seems higher than that?

Yes, it IS a downgrade. NG pulled all V1.0.5 and V1.0.6 beta F/W as they gave a lot of people problems. Stablized the code and removed Arlo support and re-issued it as V1.0.5.60 and now the new one at https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/R7000-Beta-FW-1-0-5-62/m-p/1078114#M31145. After you install the beta RESET the router and MANUALLY re-enter the settings. Should solve your problem possibly.
