You have probably lost your Roku remote and want to know how to find Roku IP address without remote or wifi.
If yes, then we have gathered enough information in this guide to help you. If you look for a new Roku remote and can’t find it, your TV may be able to tell you the IP address of your Roku box. Before that:
Why do you need to know the IP Address of Roku?
Roku has an inbuilt feature called ‘My Feed’ which alerts the user when there are movies published on their favorite channels by directly posting them on their feed.
If My Feed is not working, then it usually means that there is a problem with the internet. When you don’t know your Roku router IP address, then you can’t troubleshoot any Roku connection problems.
Roku uses Dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) to automatically get an IP address from the router and you can find it out by examining your current IP address on your home network or at your Roku’s home screen.
If you are not able to find it, there are two other ways to find your Router IP address or Roku Box IP address which can be used as a substitute for My Feed.

Using Roku Chrome Extension
Another great method of finding the Roku address without a remote is the use of the Chrome extension.
This is the easiest method that can work for almost all users. Roku extension is a web app that can easily be added to Google chrome and let you use a virtual remote on your computer to control Roku Networks.
This means that it needs a feature to connect to Roku devices in your network. Here are the steps.
Head to the Google Chrome web store after opening the Google Chrome Browser. To those that don’t know where this is, you can check whether there’s a link in the bookmarks bar. You can as well do a Google search for “Chrome apps” and eventually launch to Chrome web store.
Now search for Remoku extension from the Chrome Web Store.
Select Add to Chrome and the extension will be downloaded and added to Chrome.
Pick the Icon in the upper right and launch Remoku and the virtual remote will come up.
You will now see a menu for the apps across the top.
Now head to settings and the top box for the settings has a menu that contains all the tools.
You just need the first two lines. Make the IP address pattern match your network. As a matter of fact, the default IP address will work for most people.
The next line will now allow you to specify the number of Rokus that are in your network and it will automatically start scanning.
This extension will automatically scan all the available IP addresses and bring you the one that is for the Roku device.
Using the Router
The last method that we’re going to discuss here is how to find Roku IP addresses using the Router.
This is a direct approach and it might not take a lot of your time. The fact remains that most routers have a way of letting you see the devices that are connected specifically through their IP addresses.
Open the browser that you are using and log to your router’s admin interface. This can vary depending on your router. After that, you will automatically see all the connected devices in a list. Otherwise, you can browse the status page and see everything from here.
The router might also list all the connected Roku devices and their IP address. The connected devices will be listed by name next to the IP address.
If you cannot pinpoint any Roku devices connected, you can alternatively look for MAC addresses in the listing of devices. It’s easy because most routers out there have a specific column for this. If otherwise, you can still look for it from sites such as WhatsmyIP.org. Though, this will only work if you have a full MAC address.
