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?

Well since the new 1.1.1 firmware I've found that wireless seems to be stable for the moment.
However two bugs I have encountered have been as follows:
1) Couldn't connect to my work VPN using L2TP/IPSec with the standard windows 10 adapter - to get this to work I had to reboot the router and then all was ok. This has happend twice.
2) Couldn't "Cast" to any devices on my network on either band. For example, couldn't cast to Chromecast or YouTube applications in smart TV's. I can't cast because I can't see them! No device discovery can be performed by Android or iOS devices!!
I thought that issue has been resolved according the firmware logs.
Rebooting the router fixes the issue but really? Surely it's not beyond belief that this could best tested/reproduced by TP Link engineering department? Now I have rebooted I hope everything keeps working as I really don't want to have to reboot every few days.

I have also seen something similar to your cast issue back with earlier firmware - I never had my dual-band in smart mode with my previous router, though, so I had no idea whether it was an issue with the new AX6000 or something with the smart dual-band feature. When I started casting to specific speakers, they did work fine, but when I cast to a group or every speaker, some of them did play, others remained silent. I was really wondering what's going on, so I went through the options. I guessed that some devices connected to the 2.4GHz network and others to the 5GHz one. Sort of makes sense, Google does specify that the devices in a device group need to be on the same network. I disabled smart dual-band, renamed my 2.4GHz network to a different SSID, so that my configuration for my devices would point them to the 5GHz network, and it started working. Every now and then my Google Home Hub still gets disconnected, and I need to physically reset it to get back to its speaker group, though. Not sure what causes this, though. :|

@attilab I've gone back to beta firmware and casting is now working again. I'm using 1.1.2 Build 20200721 rel.75258 and seems to be working ok.
