Roku remotes connect to your Roku streaming device through a pairing process. Sometimes these remotes can lose their pairing or fail to sync properly. When this happens, you may need to reset. Typically this is done using a “pairing” button on the remote, but some models do not have this button. In this post, I’ll provide a step-by-step guide to resetting your Roku remote if it does not have a dedicated button.
Steps to Reset Roku Remote Without Pairing Button
1. Remove Batteries from Remote
First, remove the batteries from your Roku remote. This clears any existing connection and settings.
2. Reinsert Batteries to Reset Remote
After removing the batteries for at least 5 seconds, reinsert them into the remote. This will reset your remote and make it ready for pairing mode.
3. Press and Hold Home and Back Buttons
With fresh batteries in place, press and hold the Home and Back buttons simultaneously on your Roku remote.
4. Wait for the Remote Light to Blink
Keep holding the Home and Back buttons. After about 10 seconds, you should see the LED light on your remote start blinking rapidly. This means you successfully reset your Roku Remote & it’s ready for pairing again.
5. Bring Remote Near Roku Device
Still holding the buttons, bring the remote close to your Roku and release the buttons. The status light will blink indicating it’s in pairing mode.
6. Wait 1-2 Minutes for Auto Re-Pairing
Give it 1-2 minutes for the remote to automatically re-pair with the Roku device. The light will stop blinking when complete.
7. Test Remote Buttons
Press some buttons on the remote to ensure it is controlling the Roku properly. The buttons should work to confirm re-pairing.
