You can either configure your new Wi-Fi to match the last Wi-Fi the TV connected to (same SSID/network name and password) or get a remote.  If you factory reset your TV, the only option is to get a remote.  Many cheap universal remotes support Roku TVs or you can get a remote from Roku.

    You can also try getting a Roku remote app. If functions very similar to an actual remote.

      denimgrl7, no you can't.  Remote apps only work with devices that are already connected to your network.  There's no way to use one to get a device connected to a network.
