To save space in my suitcase I did not bring the remote control for my Roku stick 3800 with me. I was planning to use the mobile app on my cell phone, which works fine at home. Now I find out that I cannot access anything without this remote control. Is there some way for me to use the Roku while I am away from home?
If you could change the network name and passcode to match the one at home, perhaps then you could get the phone to work, if not, no you differently need a remote. Are there walmart or best buy near by, they sell wifi voice remote rc-al7r separately there.

Is there anyway to connect to the device to establish a network connection either through the rokus ssid or plugging it into my labtop via usb or hdmi

Plugging in the HDMI into a TV just shows the Roku menu on the screen but it shows as not being connected. Without the remote I don't see any way of being able to connect. The Roku stick also has a tiny USB port but I believe this would only work to power the device, not connect to it. It has its own SSID but there is no password that I can find to be able to access it. I think they use that SSID to connect the remote control to the wireless network.

I'm staying at an Airbnb, so I don't think the host is going to let me change the network name and password. Good idea though!
