How to Connect Seiki TV to WiFi Without Remote

You may have several reasons why you might need to connect your Seiki TV to WiFi without a remote. Maybe you purchased an old Seiki TV that didn’t come with a remote control. Maybe the Seiki remote is faulty due to wear and tear. Whatever the reason, you don’t need to lose hope of connecting the Seiki TV to the internet. In this section, we will walk you through simple methods to connect your Seiki TV to a wireless connection without a remote.

Use a USB Keyboard or Mouse to Connect Seiki TV to WiFi

Seiki TV offers HDMI ports to connect any wired or wireless keyboard/mouse. With this, you can easily control your Seiki TV and connect it to any WIFI network. Plug the wireless USB adapter into the TV’s port, and you will see the mouse cursor on the screen if it detects automatically.

After that, go to Settings and connect your TV to the WiFi network you want. We recommend buying a Logitech K400 Plus wireless keyboard, which has a built-in touchpad for easy mouse control.

Rename the WiFi Network to Connect Seiki TV to the WiFi

If you want to connect your Seiki TV to a new WiFi since you have changed routers, there is a workaround. You need to change your new WiFi name and password exactly as your old WiFi name and password. Therefore, your Seiki TV will automatically recognize this new WiFi network as previously connected. Once the internet connection is established, you can use your phone and operate the Seiki TV using the remote app.

Use the IR Blaster Remote App to Connect Seiki TV to WiFi

If you have an infrared emitter smartphone, use the IR blaster remote app as a substitute remote. With that, you can easily connect the Seiki TV to WiFi. Here are some remote apps you can use to operate the TV virtually.

After installing the remote app, open it and follow the on-screen prompts to use the remote control. Go to Settings → Network & internet → Enable WLAN → Click OK → Select WiFi → Enter the password to connect.

Use a Mobile Hotspot to Connect Seiki TV to WiFi

If you don’t have a secondary router, you can use a Wi-Fi hotspot to connect your Seiki TV to the internet. Rename the hotspot name and password to the last WiFi the Seiki TV was connected to. Once enabled, your Seiki TV will immediately connect to the hotspot. If it doesn’t connect, use the IR blaster remote app to connect the Seiki TV to your mobile hotspot.

Use an Ethernet Cable to Connect Seiki TV to Internet

Another way to connect the Seiki TV to the internet is using the Ethernet cable. Initially, check whether your Seiki TV has a dedicated LAN port to connect the Seiki TV to your router using an ethernet cable. For high-speed internet access, we recommend you buy and use the DbillionDa Cat 8 Ethernet cable. Once the cables are connected firmly, Seiki TV will automatically connect to the internet

Buy a Replacement Remote

If you are still unable to connect your Seiki TV to WiFi, you can buy a new remote as the last option. The replacement remotes are available online on Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy and offline on authorized service centers. If you have multiple Seiki TVs, we recommend you buy a universal remote. With this, you can control multiple Seiki TVs with a single remote. You can start using a universal remote to operate the TV after programming with Seiki TV remote codes.
