To preserve some changes and files I added. Add their path to sysupgrade.conf, in my case this is /www/ and /www/cgi-bin/.
# cat /etc/sysupgrade.conf
## This file contains files and directories that should
## be preserved during an upgrade.
# /etc/example.conf
# /etc/openvpn/
/www/
/www/cgi-bin/

Download the upgrade to /tmp/
wget -O /tmp/openwrt-15.05.1-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin http://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05.1/ar71xx/generic/openwrt-15.05.1-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Run the upgrade and set back and wait. One site I found on the web said they had problems with wireless being disabled after running sysupgrade -c on one of three attempts. If that happens it means I’ll be opening the case and soldering pins to the headers to get wireless enabled again.

Seems like it worked, the plug is sitting there with a blue light like it is still upgrading.

After the install finished I was good and logged back in using the password that I had set for root. The relay didn’t work to turn the switch on and off but adding two lines to rc.local corrected this problem.
echo 26 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio26/direction
After doing that and testing with a couple of reboots I can run the commands below to turn the outlet on and off from the CLI or go to the web page that I build and do the same there. Just the line with the word echo in them.
#ON:
#echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/gpio/gpio26/value
#OFF:
#echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/gpio/gpio26/value
Space is at a premium on this device after the upgrade.

Smartthings is broken now and I can’t use voice commands on Alexa for this plug either until I sort that out.
