Apple TV HD Not Waking from Sleep

My apple TV has stopped waking up from sleeping using the remote. The weird thing is if I press the volume up and menu button to start pairing the remote it will wake up and try to pair but then the remote is unresponsive and seems to have difficulty pairing. I'm also having trouble finding the apple TV on my iphone when I try to use that as a remote.

Apple TV HD, tvOS 14

For your remote app:

  1. Check that your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is on the same Wi-Fi network as your Apple TV or AirPlay 2-compatible smart TV. On your iOS or iPadOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi. On your Apple TV, go to Settings > Network.
  2. Make sure that your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is updated to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, and your Apple TV is updated to the latest version of tvOS.
