Connection Issues without remote
An app with remote functionality will not connect to a Roku device until the Roku device is actually connected to a network. A remote is required to connect to a network.
The proposal by Strega will allow the saved network settings to work. (This isn't really an exception to what I stated in bold above; that initial network setup was accomplished with a remote.)
The Roku Voice Remote ($20), which came with the Roku Express+ model 3931, will work. If you have an older model Express+, it came with an IR remote (Roku Simple Remote, $15), but the Voice Remote will work as well. Likewise, the Voice Remote Pro ($30). The Simple Remote will work with all Express+ models as well, but it doesn't have the additional features of the Voice Remote.
All Roku remotes are available at Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and other retailers (depending on current stock). If you want one today, one of those retailers is probably your best bet. You can order online fro Roku (probably takes the longest) or from Amazon (fastest if Prime) or other retailers, including those brick and mortar stores mentioned.
