Lost Your Roku Remote?
If you've lost your Roku remote, Universal Remote is the perfect solution — as long as your Roku is connected to WiFi, you can control it entirely from your iPhone. No physical remote needed.
If your Roku is NOT connected to WiFi (and you have no remote to set it up):
- Try connecting your Roku to an ethernet cable if available
- For Roku TV: use the physical buttons on the TV to navigate to WiFi settings
- For streaming devices: you may need a replacement remote to complete initial WiFi setup
