Note that manual downgrade is only temporary, because the auto update will overwrite your downgrade. My manual downgrade lasted less than one hour before the auto update overwrote my manual downgrade, so I am stuck on 2.1.4.10.
You can telnet into the router and turn off auto-updating if you like. I've not done it (disabling auto-update), but I have telnet into the router and poked around some, and I know I've seen other posts explaining how to disable it. If you search around in the forums on here, you can find instructions on how to telnet in, and how to change the setting to disable auto-update.
I'll start you off with enabling telnet: go to http://[your router's ip]/debug.htm and enable the telnet option. You then telnet into the router using the IP address, and the normal admin login credentials. As far as the commands to change the auto-updating, you'll have to find those on here on your own, because I don't know how to do it, off the top of my head, and don't care to do the research myself.
