Maybe I could try to install the driver to see if the wireless performance improves or not.
If you check the guide I linked in my post, you could see step 10: Wait for the Power LED to light orange and start flashing. The XR500 with OpenWRT never starts flashing with orange light.

A couple of weeks ago I spent some time playing with the LEDs meaning assignment in LuCI. I noticed that in general they seemed to behave differently from what I configured. My impression is that they had been considerably remapped from the R7800 but OpenWrt (most reasonably) uses the same mapping. I still haven't found the time to investigate further.
This just to say: this same inconsistence might be present in the TFTP server. My experience with routers is limited but I would not stick to waiting for the power led to blink orange. Do you see one (or even more) leds blinking after the reboot?
I don't see any improvements to the wireless connection, still unstable, devices would go offline for a few seconds randomly. I am trying to follow the R7800 tftp guide.
For those who were (like me) considering /hasitating purchase of xr500 for openwrt - personally (after couple days of usage) I didn't spot any issues with openwrt snapshot 23.02rc1 on this router (aslo didn't spot any WiFi 2.4ghz issues. I'm not using 5ghz as not all of my home devices support it)
