Archer AX6000 5Ghz stops working after app. 1 day

Hi,
I just bought a Archer AX6000 router. I'm having trouble with the 5 Ghz band. After a clean start up of the router the 5Ghz works fine. I have laptop, 2 phones and a tablet that can all connect to it. But after a day or so the connection is lost and I can't reconnect. The 5Ghz network is intermittend down. So, when scanning for networks sometimes the 5Ghz network is visible, but then dissapears again. This happens on all 4 devices, which make believe that the origin of the problem is with the router.
In a wifi analyzer app I see the same thing. The 5Ghz network is there, and then it isn't. Then it's back again and then it's gone again.
I updated the firmware to the latest available version, which is version 1.0.6.
Any ideas on how to solve this? Or should I return it?

Maybe good idea for TpLink guys would be obtain the Asus router and see what others are doing this job :)

So it appears that the new non-beta Firmware has been released (in the US at least, no mention of EU yet).
Published Date: 2020-03-12
New Features/Enhancement:
Improve the performance of the wireless network.
Has anyone tried this yet / does it fix the issue? (Also, does the router retain settings when the firmware is upgraded?)

Just installed the new release firmware. 10 minutes later the 5ghz wireless disappeared. Non 5ghz works fine still. I'm done with this overpriced POS router and returning it.

@Kevin_Z - Rolling back to the beta Beta seems better than the newest build.- less issues
