Missing Roku stick remote control

Jump to solution

I am away from home and brought my Roku stick and TV with me but forgot the remote. I have WIFI access but can't connect stick/TV without remote. Buttons on back of TV don't move to Roku's Home Screen settings to set up WIFI. Can I use my mobile Roku app to set it up?
