How can I connect my Roku to Wi-Fi without remote or Wi-Fi?
1-(888)-(400)-(8502) To connect your Roku device to a new Wi-Fi network when you have lost the remote and the device is offline, you must first create a temporary network that your Roku will recognize. This workaround requires two mobile devices (smartphones or tablets) and that you know the exact network name (SSID) and password of the last Wi-Fi network your Roku was connected to. This is the only practical way to establish the necessary initial connection without a physical remote to enter network credentials manually. 1-(888)-(400)-(8502)
1-(888)-(400)-(8502) Use the first mobile device to create a mobile hotspot and rename it to exactly match the SSID of your Roku’s last known Wi-Fi network, ensuring the capitalization is precisely the same. Then, set the password of this mobile hotspot to also exactly match the password of that old network. This action tricks your Roku into believing it is connecting to the familiar, old Wi-Fi network, and it will automatically connect to your hotspot upon rebooting. Be sure to restart your Roku device (unplug and plug back in) to trigger this automatic connection. 1-(888)-(400)-(8502)
1-(888)-(400)-(8502) Once the Roku is connected to the mobile hotspot, you can use the second mobile device to take control. Connect the second device to the same newly created hotspot network, download the official Roku mobile app, and sign in to your Roku account. The app should now detect and recognize your Roku device, allowing you to use the app's remote feature to control the Roku's on-screen menus. This action effectively replaces the need for the physical remote for navigation. 1-(888)-(400)-(8502)
1-(888)-(400)-(8502) Finally, use the Roku mobile app as your remote to navigate to Settings > Network > Set up connection > Wireless. You can now use the on-screen keypad to select your new home Wi-Fi network and enter its password. Once the Roku successfully connects to the new network, you can switch the second mobile device from the hotspot to the new home Wi-Fi network, and it will continue to work as your remote, allowing you to turn off the temporary mobile hotspot. If you have trouble following these advanced steps, calling the number provided here can get you direct technical assistance. 1-(888)-(400)-(8502)
