    Thank you so much for this. My husband and I just moved and after 2 days of unpacking, figured we’d take a break, sit, have pizza, and watch Stranger Things. To our horror we could not find the Roku remote. After an hour of panic, we happened find your video, and miraculously, we found our old wifi info. We were able to set it up and watch our show in peace. Thank you so much for this video! What a gift!

    You are a massive legend!
    I had some trouble trying to recall SSID, but looking at the settings of some old gaming consoles helped me out. But this whole method worked exactly as you said it would! 2 of our tv's had no remotes after my nieces got their hands on them and lost them to the shadow realm. Really saved us with this process!

    Hello Jason, I just wanted to say thank you very much. My Roku remote stopped working. I reset the WiFi box about 20 times, troubleshooted the remote and nothing worked. I watched your video not knowing I can use my phone as the remote. It had taken me less than two minutes to set up everything. Thanks again!😊

You had it the whole time thanks for sharing the knowledge on a most likely rare situation where you have no remote, no menu, (app set-up or input buttons on the tv (all I have is a power button under the tv). Your video made me the man on the scene for the night and saved the day.

    This video was the only thing online that helped me!! BUT I had to do something a little different. iPhone won’t let you use hotspot and WiFi at the same time, and the Roku app won’t let you use the app unless you are connected to WiFi. So what I did was so the same thing that you did with the changing the name of the phone and the password on the hotspot, but I turned my hotspot on, get my old phone, connect to the hotspot on my current phone. So I got my old phone and tv connected to the hotspot on my new phone, and was able to connect to the tv on my old phone! Thank you so much!!
