Change the RAID 5 level to RAID 6

I Have just set up my New Ready NAS 104 with 4 Hard drives. It is set up in RAID 5 but I wanted to set it up in Raid 6.   How do I do this?

    I tried the solution.

    I have changed to FlexRAID but it starts up with RAID5 showing on the volumes and I cannot find a way of changing it to RAID 6
