You must extract the file using winzip or winrar or a similar program as the rar file or zip file on a USB stick will not be of any use to you.

Insert the USB stick into one of the USB ports in your spiderbox.

Go to the Utility Section of the menu and select USB.

Scroll to the .uad file you have copied there and press OK

In the popup window, select S/W Update (the 1st option)

Most times when theres a problem with Network,,a reboot on both stb and router fix that. on stb turn off the main switch at backside.(or in newer patches theres a reboot stb option in menu).
