Remotes

[shazy]

I have some 3600x and 3810x sticks that are with factory software (i.e no updates). I got new roku voice remotes which always pair successfully but then I sit on language selection screen of roku with no buttons on remote working further.

I am unable to find older roku voice/RF remote for these sticks.

I suspect that unless these sticks update their OS via internet (for which I need remote), they won't work with the new remote. I am unable to find old RF Roku remote to buy in Canada.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the post.

For a list of compatible remotes for your Roku devices, you can visit our Accessory Products page.

Please be aware that if you are located in Canada, you will most likely have to find a replacement remote through a third party entity.

Thanks,
Danny

@RokuDanny-R Thanks I tried the new roku voice remote but it cannot control these devices. Perhaps they need an OS update before that which i cannot do without getting them on wifi

I own the 3811X streaming stick+ and just talked to customer support since my new Voice Remote Pro doesn't seem to work with it. I swear I already had a pro remote working with it, but he said it isn't compatible. Not sure what I'm going to do!

To start the Voice Pro is compatible with 3811 Stick+. But, are you using the original usb cable with the bump in it? That is what the wifi remote actually communicates with, not the Stick itself.

@Tivoburkee wait really? The Roku employee on the support line said that the voice pro remote does not work with the 3811X.

Either way I've just quickly purchased a voice remote and it won't even connect, so I'm very confused as to what's going on.

You can see from this compatibility list the 3811 is listed on this page:

What you need to use voice commands with your Roku® streaming device | Official Roku Support

So again, ARE you using the original USB cable with bump in it? Looks like this:

No Roku remote will work with your 3811 Stick+ without it!!

When I go to the Roku accessories page https://www.roku.com/products/accessories and type in my model number (3811X) the Pro remote does not show up by the way. The link you sent re compatibility is not clear regarding the pro versus regular voice remote.

Yes, I have the extra bump. My apologies for missing it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry, I missed the last line of your message. Yes I have the extra piece.
