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

Getting a Roku onto Wi-Fi normally needs the remote to type in a network and password — a problem if that remote is missing. Once your Roku is online, Auxility Remote connects over the same network automatically, and this guide covers both the on-TV setup and how the app takes over afterward.

How it works

Works with every Roku, instantly.

Auxility Remote connects to your Roku over your home Wi-Fi — no pairing, no codes, and no account. Everything stays on your local network.

Step by step

How to fix it: Connect Roku to Wi-Fi.

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

  1. Get the Roku onto any network

    The app needs the Roku reachable on your network, over current Wi-Fi or an Ethernet adapter. Once it is reachable, the app can drive the rest of setup.

  2. Open Auxility Remote

    On the same network, launch the app. It finds the Roku on your Wi-Fi network.

  3. Navigate to Network settings

    Use the on-screen D-Pad and OK to open Settings, then Network, then Set up connection. Every keypress travels over Wi-Fi.

  4. Type the Wi-Fi password from iPhone

    Switch to the app keyboard to enter the network name and password directly, instead of hunting letters with a D-Pad. Confirm with OK to join the new Wi-Fi.

Common questions

Connect Roku to Wi-Fi — your questions answered.

Can Auxility Remote connect a brand-new Roku to Wi-Fi with no remote at all?
The app controls a Roku that is already reachable on your network. If the device has never joined any network, it must first reach your network — for example over Ethernet — after which the app can complete Wi-Fi setup.
How do I switch my Roku to a new Wi-Fi network using the app?
Open Settings then Network with the on-screen D-Pad, choose Set up connection, and pick the new network. Use the iPhone keyboard to type the password, then confirm with OK.
Why does the app need my iPhone on the same Wi-Fi as the Roku?
Roku control works directly on your local network. Commands are sent directly between devices on the same network, so both the iPhone and the Roku must share the network.
