@MFARLEY3045, the Roku app will work as a remote, but only if your TV is already set up and connected to your network. There's no way to use the app to set up a TV or get it connected to a Wi-Fi network since the TV and the phone/tablet must be connected to the same network for the app to function. If you're using a wired connection for the TV then the app should work if the TV is already set up.
