What model Roku? When you say not connected, you are referring to the network connection?
I believe to activate the pairing with a WiFi Direct remote, it has to be done within a certain length of time after booting the Roku. Not saying that as a fact, but I think it has to be initiated within 30 seconds or so of booting the Roku up.
If the Roku has a network connection, you could use the Roku app on a phone or tablet, and initiate the remote pairing from the Settings/Remote menu. But that won't work without a working network connection for the Roku.

“Roku streaming stick plus”. On the Home Screen of roku in the top right corner it says “not connected”. I assume that means internet isn’t connected. I tried the app and it can’t find a device so I assume it’s because device isn’t connected to internet? I pushed the pairing button within five seconds of reconnecting the roku but the light just keeps flashing 😞

Thank you. Yes, that means no network connection so no ability to use the app. I'm now at a loss for why it's not connecting. RokuDanny-R will likely have some additional trouble-shooting tips to try.

Thanks! In the meantime I did a hard reset of the ROKU but am now stuck in pairing mode. Remote won’t pair so I can’t set up ROKU.
