Setting up WiFi on Apple TV with no remote

I do not have a remote for my Apple TV and I have tried using the feature on my phone that should let me use it as a remote, but it keep saying “searching” until it eventually stops and nothing shows up. I have tried to shut down and power up my iPhone already but it still doesn’t work.

You may need to buy a replacement remote. The software remote on iPhone won’t be functional with any model until the box has a proper connection to the home network.
