Apple TV Remote 3rd Generation Pairing

We just got new internet, and I went to put in the new network into out apple TV. When I click the remote the Apple TV light blinks 3 times (white light) and I can't move the cursor. I tried restarting my Apple TV and using my remote app from my phone but I think that since the network isn't connected to the Apple TV it's not responding. Help?


Thanks

The three lights tells the ATV is ignoring the remote. To fix this simply unpair the remote:

Pair or unpair your Apple Remote with your Apple TV (3rd generation or earlier) - Apple Support

Obviously you need to use the second method mentioned since you cannot navigate the menus.
