Do you need to know your Roku's IP address, but lost the remote? This might be something you need if you're trying to get through a firewall or troubleshooting a networking issue. You can check for the IP address without your remote using the mobile app, an extension with your Chrome web browser, or within your router admin panel. This wikiHow article teaches you how to find your Roku IP address once you have it set up and connected to the internet .

Things You Should Know

  • As long as your mobile app was previously connected to your TV, you can use that to find its IP address.
  • Alternatively, use an extension on a Chrome web browser to find the IP address for your Roku.
  • You can also use the admin panel of your router settings to find the IP address of your Roku, as long as your router lists each connected device's name or MAC address.

  1. Go to the Remoku extension page in Chrome on your computer. You can use any computer on the same network as your Roku to get the addon and find your Roku's IP address.
    • This method doesn't always work, and will only work if your network IP address is similar to 192.168.1 . But, it's worth a try if the other methods don't work for you.
  2. Clicking this will install the extension so you can use it to find your Roku's IP address.
  3. It should be a black square with an "R" inside it located in the top right corner of your browser window.
    • If you don't see it there, click the puzzle-piece icon to see a list of all your installed extensions, and make sure it's enabled .
  4. This button is to the right of the "How Many Rokus" question in the "Find My Roku" section.
    • If the extension is successful, you'll see a list of Roku's and their IP addresses.

  1. This is usually something like 192.168.1.1, but you can find the address somewhere on your router.
    • Some routers don't show the names of devices that are connected nor do they show the MAC address, which you will need to identify your Roku. In that case, using the mobile app or a Chrome extension is the best choice for you!
  2. The username and password are on the back of your router, but they will not be the same if you changed them.
  3. You should be able to see a list of "Connected devices" that will display your Roku and IP address.
