RESET ROKU REMOTE

Reset Your Roku Remote, or Replace It Entirely.

Re-pairing a remote takes patience and timing. Auxility Remote gives you instant control over Wi-Fi, so you reset the hardware on your own schedule.

Works over Wi-Fi · no pairing · no original remote required

Re-pairing or resetting a Roku remote is a quick fix when it has stopped talking to the player — usually a battery pull and a hold of the pairing button. While the remote re-pairs, Auxility Remote keeps the TV controllable over Wi-Fi so nothing grinds to a halt.

Step by step

How to fix it: Reset Roku Remote.

Each step takes seconds. No original remote, no pairing code, no account required.

  1. Restart the Roku first

    Unplug the Roku for five seconds and plug it back in. A clean boot clears many remote faults before any reset is needed.

  2. Reset a point-anywhere remote

    Open the battery door, remove the batteries, then hold the pairing button for several seconds. Reinsert batteries and wait for the green light to settle.

  3. Control immediately with the app

    While the remote re-pairs, open Auxility Remote on the same Wi-Fi. It connects over Wi-Fi with no pairing, so you are not stuck waiting.

  4. Keep the iPhone as backup

    Even after a successful reset, the app stays ready. The D-Pad, OK, HOME, BACK, and volume keys are one tap away if the remote drops again.

Common questions

Reset Roku Remote — your questions answered.

How do I reset a Roku remote that stopped pairing?
Restart the Roku by unplugging it, then remove the remote's batteries and hold the pairing button for several seconds. Reinsert the batteries and let it re-pair, and use the app meanwhile so you keep control.
Do I have to reset the remote to use Auxility Remote?
No. The app is independent of the hardware remote's pairing. It controls the Roku over Wi-Fi whether or not the physical remote is reset.
My remote has no pairing button — how do I reset it?
Simple IR remotes have no pairing state to reset; they only need line of sight and good batteries. If an IR remote fails, Auxility Remote replaces it over Wi-Fi without any reset procedure.
