Cool
Got to the admin page with a provided password , are there any firmware updates for my NAS to improve performance ?

Current firmware for a v1 NAS is 4.1.14 (there is also an old 4.1.15-T3 beta that has a couple of additional security patches). Current firmware for the v2 is 5.3.11 (with a 5.3.12 beta here).
I'm not sure if the betas will ever be released, as Netgear has shifting everything to OS 6.
You should be able to use the Ready Remote VPN to access the NAS remotely, but ReadyCloud is only for OS 6 - which your older NAS isn't able to run.

According to the Ready NAS webpage ; we are on the following firmware
2011/10/10 12:28:17, 0] nmbd/nmbd_become_lmb.c:become_local_master_stage2(396) [1.00a043]
Is this most recent ? What improvements are there on firmwares?- StephenBJun 06, 2016Guru - Experienced User

Is this most recent ? What improvements are there on firmwares?You are running 4.1.7, which goes back to 2010/2011.
You can trace the improvements by googling on "raidiator 4.1.x" release (filling in the x). But I don't really see the point. Back up any data that might be useful, and install the current firmware. Maybe even do a factory reset and rebuild the NAS from scratch.

The NAS is due an upgrade , however in the interim I wanted to improve performace if possibleI did not set up the Config but, have backed up the config . So after upgrade I can restore the backup right?
