hey guys this is Tim from your 6 studios
today in this video I'm gonna show you
five tips on how you can fix your roku
device remote not pairing or not
connecting to your Roku let's go ahead
and jump into the video right now the
first tip I have for you is doing a
completely hard reset of your Roku
device by taking it and I'm plugging it
from the wall and waited about 30
seconds and then plugging it back in
sometimes this will fix some of the
pairing issues that you are having and
everything should be connected and
working after this the second tip I have
for you is taking your Roku remote and
taking out the batteries and sometimes
when you take out the batteries of these
Roku remotes and put them back in they
will automatically start pairing with
any of available devices that are close
to it so go ahead take out the batteries
and place them back in and along with
the the first step where you unplug the
Roku device from the wall outlet this
will resolve most the issues that you're
having with this device just with first
and second step and also if you look at
the back of the remote and open up the
battery compartment you will see there
may be a button on the back of your
remote and there might be a like a
little LED light there also if you go
ahead and press this button by the
battery compartment for approximately
five seconds this will start putting
your remote into pairing mode and it
will start looking for available Roku
devices near it so go ahead and press
that button if you have it my Roku stick
premiere remote does not have this
however some more advanced Roku devices
should have this feature and you'll know
it's starting to look for pairing
devices available when the LED light
starts flashing so go ahead and try this
third step I have for you that you can
try is to get the Roku app on your
Android phone to get the Android app
it's very easy just go to the Play Store
and then type in Roku once you type in
Roku you will be able to install it from
there and when you open up the
application you'll have a couple
different menu options if you go
remote though you can actually control
your device just from there and I want
to make a quick mention that you will
need Wi-Fi enabled to go ahead and
connect your Android phone to your Roku
device so make sure Wi-Fi is turned on
on your phone and this will allow you to
actually use your Android phone as a
remote and some of the features on here
are actually really good they have the
voice commands on there they have a
keyboard and you can also plug in your
headphones to your phone and get the
audio from any kind of television shows
or maybe even a YouTube video that
you're watching
so the phone app you can control it and
you get some of the advanced features
that you would on a more advanced Roku
devices just on your phone and this will
help out when we go over to step four
and the step four is to go into the
settings options to pair a new remote
with your roku device scroll up to
settings go over to remote and devices
go to pair new device go to remote go
over to the right and under here it will
ask you to put the batteries in your
remote and press and hold the pairing
button for five seconds if you do not
have a pairing button just take out the
batteries and put them back in and it
should start pairing automatically with
your roku device and from here you can
put your roku device into pairing mode
where it's gonna search for any device
that's available to it and this is good
if you're starting up with a new remote
that you just bought off of amazon.com
you can actually put your roku device
and your roku remote into pairing mode
and they should sync up and that brings
us to step five what if everything I
just did doesn't work all right I got
the app on my phone I'm still using it
and it's working right now but I would
like an actual remote well you can go on
to amazon.com and there's cheap options
on Amazon really you can find many
remotes for about eight to ten bucks
that have more basic features some a
little bit more advanced but depending
on the features you want with a remote
they can go up to twenty thirty bucks
and just be careful when you're on
amazon.com and reading the descriptions
is very important some of the remotes on
there you may
ah I won't work with your device so read
the description and make sure the remote
you're buying is compatible with the
Roku device you own if this video helped
