Is 1.0.7.something still available someplace?
Perhaps I should try it before any other 'fixes'.
I'm back after a downgrade of the firmware. I went back to V1.0.7.2_1.1.93.
It fixed (well sort of) the problem with 5G dropping out on a one to two minute cycle.
But, it only fixed one of the R7000's. The one with MAC E4:F4:C6:0A:0A:5C is broadcasting without problems on 2.4 and 5G.
The other R7000 with MAC 10:DA:43:7E:A2:0E is broadcasting fine on 2.4, and cannot be seen on the 5G channels.
I tried three different WiFi Analyzers, and have consistent results.
Most frustrating! Derick
