@oldlady, we need more information. Changing your router shouldn't have anything to do with your physical remote working, so are you speaking of using the app on your phone as a remote? If so, your phone and your Roku device must be connected to the same network. You mention "TV", so is it a Roku TV or a Roku device connected to your TV? The more details you can give the better.
