Since you factory reset it, you will need a remote to get it connected to Wi-Fi.  Get a cheap universal remote that supports Roku at any big box store or even the dollar store.

I reset the roku stick and I lost the remote control. Is there a way to set it up without the remote?

Thanks for the inquiry.

You will need a remote to setup your Roku device. Can you please provide us with the Roku Streaming Stick model number so we can recommend you the appropriate replacement remote that you will need?


Thanks,
Danny

No remote for initial out of the box setup

Jump to solution

I do not have the remote for my roku device, model number is 3900x. My device has been reset and is not connected to any wifi. It is on the initial setup screen for me to select the language, but I do not have a compatible remote. What is my next plan of action before I go purchase another remote for my old roku device?

You need new remote, since the express accepts IR remote it doesn't have to be a Roku remote, it can be a cheaper universal remote found at target or dollar store,

Re: Lost remote and need to connect to wifi

Jump to solution

You need to have 2 devices. 2 phones or a phone and an iPad. Mobile hotspot without a password from you phone and connect the second phone or iPad to that network. Then turn on your rocky. It should auto connect to the open network. Then use the remote app on the second phone or iPad to set up your new WiFi.

I solved this today!!! You just need to plug your Roku TV into your wifi box with an ethernet cable! and then download the Roku remote on your phone and it'll show up automatically. hope this helps someone in the future 🙂

I have the same issue. I no longer have my remote and it's stuck on the language screen. I have a 3800X model. What remote do I need to get? Can I use any Roku remote?
