Insert fresh batteries into the remote and hold the pairing button inside the battery compartment until the light flashes. Pairing completes automatically when the stick detects the signal. A successful pair enables onscreen navigation without needing a smartphone app.
Connect to WiFi
Select your home WiFi network from the list. Enter the password carefully using the remote keypad. Select 2.4GHz if your 5GHz network gives trouble at this stage. A strong stable connection is essential for software updates during initial setup.
Create Account on Computer
When the TV shows a short code, open roku.com/link on any computer or tablet browser. Create a new account or sign in to an existing one and enter the code displayed on the TV. This method replaces the mobile app completely for activation.
Finish and Launch
Complete optional channel pre-selection on the TV, then let the device apply updates and finalize. Return to the Roku home screen and confirm network status. Launch any installed app to verify playback. Install more apps later directly through the TV interface.
