    You can't pair a remote without a pairing button, without one its just IR remote. If your roku is a stick, then its worthless, if its a console then should just work by IR with nothing to program.

    Of course I have no idea what roku remote you bought? What model of roku you have? If this new roku remote has power key then its a Roku TV remote and uses a completely different IR code then Roku console streamers like express, premiere, or ultra.

    Roku TV WiFi remotes will pair to such stick models as 3600, 3800, and 3810. It will not work with the purple 3500 stick. But Roku tv WiFi makes terrible stick remote reason is the tv power and volume commands are useless to any other tv but Roku TV's.

    And the remote on the right won't work with Roku sticks at all, being IR only.
