If the TV isn't connected to a network it has no IP address. You must have a physical remote to connect it to a network unless you can configure a hotspot or your network to match the last network the TV connected to. You can probably pick up a cheap universal remote that supports Roku TVs at Walmart, Target, Best Buy, etc.
Anything you read about obtaining the IP address from the serial number is nonsense.
