I have an old RND2110v2 with 4.1.16 software. 

Well, you actually have the original Duo (called v1 here).  The labeling is confusing - the v2 in your label just means that you have hardware revision 2 of the original Duo.  Netgear did a very poor job in branding, and there are a lot of people who have gotten confused on this.

The original Duo (v1)

• Says "ReadyNAS Duo" on the front panel
• Runs 4.1.x firmware (with a final release of 4.1.16)

The Duo v2

• Says "Readynas Duo v2" on the front panel
• Runs 5.3.x firmware (with a final release of 5.3.13)

So your ReadyNAS cannot run 5.3.13. 

FWIW, 4.1.16 actually has more features than 5.3.13.

Suggestions anyone how to move on?

Netgear stopped shipping your ReadyNAS back in 2011.  A new NAS would be a lot faster, would support higher capacity drives, and would offer more features.

New ReadyNAS are hard to find and usually over-priced - and there are rumors here that Netgear is abandoning the NAS market.  So if you are looking for an upgrade, you should also look at competing brands. 

You could continue to use your Duo (as long as it lasts).  My own Duo is still operational, and I still use it a secondary backup.
