Did it fail? Normally the firmware update is applied on the reboot.
But to answer your question, you can download the arm zip file from https://kb.netgear.com/000061727/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Software-Version-6-10-3, pull the binary image out of the zip, and then manually over-install it on the system->settings page of the NAS admin UI.

I tried to reinstall the same firmware again and to no avail. I still get the same error message. I think my only hope is to change out the NAS now to a different manufacturer. I haven't been too lucky recently with Netgear products (went through 3 different routers and this is is my 2nd Netgear NAS that all had issues or died upon firmware updates and they were all outside the warranties too) after being a long time user too.
