Not true. You are running the latest firmware already.
Your confusion is that you mistakenly think you have a v2 (arm-based) NAS. In fact you have a v1 (sparc-based NAS). The labeling is confusing, and there are lots of people who have made your mistake.
A v1 NAS
- runs 4.1.x firmware and cannot run 5.3.x
- has Duo on the front panel
- Might have labels that say v2 or even v3 on the side or back.
A v2 NAS
- runs 5.3.x firmware and cannot run 4.1.x
- has Duo v2 on the front panel
FWIW, both NAS were discontinued long ago - your Duo was discontinued in 2011. A new NAS would be 4-5x faster, and would have more features. The current entry level ReadyNAS is the RN212.
