You need a remote.
The Roku app remote feature won't work until your Roku is on the network. You need a remote to do that.
Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and other places carry the Roku Voice Remote ($20) that works with all Roku TV models.
Universal remotes may or may not work. Most work with Roku set top boxes, but not with sticks or Roku TV models. If you find a universal remote that specifies Roku TV (not just Roku, but Roku TV; there's a difference) then you may save some money. Otherwise, the $20 Voice Remote is your cheapest option.
