To bypass Roku remote pairing, you can follow these steps:
1. Install the Roku App: First, download and install the Roku App on your smartphone. The app is available for both iOS and Android devices. Make sure your smartphone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Roku device.
2. Connect your Roku device to the app: Launch the Roku App on your smartphone and sign in with your Roku account. On the app’s home screen, you will see an option to “Connect” or “Add a Device.” Tap on it and select your Roku device from the list.
3. Access your TV’s Settings: Once your Roku device is connected to the app, you can use your smartphone to access your TV’s Settings. This is where you can pair a new remote without a pairing button.
4. Navigate to Remotes and Devices: In your TV’s Settings menu, look for a section called “Remotes and Devices” or something similar. This is where you can manage your remote settings.
5. Pair a new device: Within the Remotes and Devices section, you should find an option to “Pair New Device” or something similar. Select this option to initiate the pairing process.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions: Your TV will display instructions on how to pair a new remote. It may ask you to press certain buttons on the remote or perform specific actions. Follow these instructions carefully.
7. Complete the pairing process: Once you have followed the on-screen instructions, your Roku device should recognize the new remote and complete the pairing process. You should now be able to use the new remote to control your Roku device.
If you do not have a Roku remote with a pairing button, using the Roku App on your smartphone is an excellent alternative. It allows you to control your Roku device without the need for a physical remote. The app provides a virtual remote control interface on your smartphone’s screen, giving you access to all the functions and features of a regular remote.
By following these steps, you can easily bypass Roku remote pairing and connect a new remote to your Roku device.
