Cant connect app and roku to wi fi to use wireless remote.
I have been using the roku app to operate my roku for a while as the regular remote has broken. I am in a new location with wi fi the roku has not connected to before. Since the app and roku are not on same network I cannot connect it to wi fi. Is there anyway to work around this if I don’t know my roku’s IP address?
Re: Cant connect app and roku to wi fi to use wireless remote.
Your Roku doesn't have an IP address until it's connected to your network. You must have a physical remote to complete the Wi-Fi setup. If you have a stick you must have a Roku remote. If you have any other device you can get a cheap universal remote that supports Roku.
