So I just moved into a new place and I don’t have an Apple TV remote. I usually just use my phone as the remote. Anyways while trying to set everything up tonight, I run into the issue that I can’t set the new wifi on the device without the remote. My phone is connected to the internet and it works when connected to Ethernet, but I can’t connect using the Ethernet because they’re in different rooms. Is there a way around this or do I have to have a physical remote to use it?

    Yeah. That’s how I got my Chromecast to connect to the hotspot on my phone back in the day, I just named it the same thing so I didn’t have to reconfigure it with a nonexistent Internet connection.
