Connecting Roku to WiFi Without a remote.

I need to connect my Roku device to my WiFi but I don’t have a remote. I can’t use my Roku app as a remote because my Roku device isn’t connected to the WiFi. So what can I do to solve the problem. It’s impossible for me to do one thing without the other.

Re: Connecting Roku to WiFi Without a remote.

Sorry, you can't do it without a physical remote.  Depending on the device (as long as it's not a stick), you may be able to get away with a cheap universal remote.  If the device was previously connected to Wi-Fi, you can configure your current Wi-Fi to match what the device last connected to (same SSID/network name and password).  If it has never been connected to Wi-Fi or was factory reset then you must have a physical remote unless the device supports a wired connection.
