How do I fix it when my Roku remote is not working? If you’re having problems with your Roku remote, first remove the batteries and put them back in. If that doesn’t help, try replacing the batteries and re-pairing the remote. If the Roku remote app isn’t connecting, make sure Roku TV is enabled to use mobile apps.

Open the Settings menu on your Roku device to initiate the connection.

1. Press the Home button on your Roku remote.
2. Scroll up or down and select Settings.
3. Select Network.
4. Select Set up connection.
5. Select Wireless.
6. From the list of available networks, choose the wireless network for the hotel or college dorm.

First, make sure that your power cable is connected properly and plugged in. If it still won’t turn on, remove the power cable for five seconds, and then plug it back in. If that fails then you will have to reset your Roku device using the reset button. If it still won’t work, you can contact Roku support.

Unfortunately, there is no native web browser included as one of the channels on a Roku device. There are only two web browser channels included, the Media Browser and the Reddit Browser. Neither are actual full-featured web browsers. The Media Browser only lets you play movies, TV, and music.

Connect Roku to Wi-Fi After First-Time Setup

1. Press the Home button on the remote.
2. Select Settings > Network in the Roku onscreen menu.
3. Select Set Up Connection (as shown previously).
4. Select Wireless (if both the Wired and Wireless options are shown).
5. Wait for Roku to find your network.

On the Roku device, go to Network > Setup Connection > Wireless, and find your mobile hotspot on the list of available networks. Select the mobile hotspot and enter its password on the Roku. Upon confirmation, you can access your Roku channels for viewing.

To connect Roku to Wi-Fi without a remote, you’ll need to set up a mobile hotspot on one device, download the Roku app to use as a remote on another device, then use the Roku app to connect your Roku to the same mobile hotspot network.

Cast from a SmartPhone to get a Web browser for Roku: This free app is called “Web Video Cast” and includes seamless navigation… No clunky functions. This app can be used on both iPhone and Android to cast Twitch to Roku. In fact, you can cast your entire browser display this way.

As we said, Roku only has two available web browsers in their channel store. So, if you want to have one of these they are; Web Browser X, and Poprism Web Browser. You can also use Chrome Via Screencast.
