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.

A Big Thanks to all who replied with the explaination. Miss labelling causes us techies headaches all the time but it's people like you that stop us banging our heads against the wall.
Keep up the good work. It's much appreciated
