I'm having the same issue. How can you follow the instructions below if you don't have the remote? How do you obtain the IP address to link manually without the remote?
No device -- Roku or otherwise -- has an IP address until it connects to a network. If it's not connected to a network, then it does not have an IP address. << Read that last sentence again, if necessary.
To connect a Roku device to a network, you need a remote. << Read that again if necessary.
If you do not have a remote, you still need a remote. That need can be met multiple ways: 1) buy one from Walmart, Best Buy, or other retailers, 2) buy one online from Roku, 3) buy one online from another retailer, 4) borrow one from a friend that has a Roku.
It's a good idea to always have a remote, even if it's only ever tucked away in a drawer. Your current situation is why.
