Hi, @Ramgoat,

Greetings from the Roku Community!

We understand that you need help setting up your Roku remote with a different Roku device. No worries, we're here to assist you.

To get started, If you have the Roku mobile app installed, or another Roku remote that works with your streaming device, use the following steps to put your device into pairing mode from the Settings menu.

  1. Press Home on your working remote or from the Roku mobile app
  2. Scroll and select Settings
  3. Select Remotes & devices
  4. Select Add devices
  5. Select Remote
  6. Select Continue
  7. Follow the on-screen instructions to pair your voice remote

If you do not have a second Roku remote that already works with your streaming device or the Roku mobile app installed, you can restart your streaming device to put it in pairing mode. When your streaming device is powered on, it will automatically enter pairing mode and look for remotes.

Use the following steps to restart your streaming device.

  1. Remove the power cord from your streaming device
  2. Wait at least 5 seconds
  3. Re-connect the power cord

Once you see the Home screen, follow the steps in the next section to put your voice remote into pairing mode and complete the pairing process with your streaming device.

  • If your voice remote has a pairing button, Press and hold the pairing button for 5 seconds, or until you see the status light begin to flash, to put your voice remote into pairing mode. 
  • If your voice remote does not have a pairing button, press and hold the Back and Home buttons for 5 seconds, or until you see the status light begin to flash.

Additionally, you can visit our support page for instructions on how to set up and pair your Roku voice remote.

Please give this a try and see if it helps with what you're experiencing.

Best regards,
Jharra
