How to Reset Your Standard Roku Remote

Next, unplug your Roku device from power for about 10 seconds before plugging it back in again. Once it’s rebooted, reinsert the batteries into the remote and then press and hold down the pairing button located in the battery compartment until you see an on-screen prompt indicating successful pairing.
How to Reset Your Voice-Controlled Roku Remote
For voice-controlled remotes, which often have more advanced features: start by removing the batteries as well as unplugging the streaming device from power for 10 seconds. After reconnecting power to both devices, replace batteries in your voice-controlled remote and press and hold down both the pairing button (located in its battery compartment) along with any other buttons such as ‘Home’ until prompted on screen that pairing is successful.
When to Seek Further Help
If you’ve attempted to reset both types of remotes but continue facing issues like unresponsive buttons or persistent connectivity problems between your devices—this may indicate a deeper hardware issue either within your Roku device or with the remote itself. In such cases, reach out to customer support for further troubleshooting steps or consider replacing an old unit if necessary.
