      Trying to figure out how to do a live "update" (downgrade) from 2.1-BETA 1 to the latest 2.0.3 Stable Release.  It insists I'm on the latest available version when I go into the FIRMWARE menu of the admin web UI.  Thanks.

        I'm pretty sure you can't downgrade because the config file format has changed.  If you want to go back you'd need to have a backup config file from 2.0.x, do a clean install, then restore the config.

        I can break anything.

          A clean install is required for a downgrade, plus you'll need to restore a config from before you used 2.1.

          An in-place downgrade, aside from the config issues, would leave files in places that were "too new" for 2.0.x and cause problems.
