Xr500 5g band completely disappears
Is there a newer beta firmware I can try? Ever since the last stable firmware was pushed out I have had really inconsistent wifi issues with the bands dropping randomly or just really poor performance...

There isn't unfortunately. Are you using Smart Connect? If you disable this does it work any better when manually connecting to 5GHz?
