So, my Apple TV is on an old wi-fi network (mum's), and I need to change it to a new one (my apartment); unfortunately, the battery in the remote is dead, and the Remote App requires you to be on the same wi-fi network. How do you fix that without buying a battery?
There isn't any other way. Why not just buy a battery?
Meg,
Thank you for the reply. Its night time in Australia, and I'm shooting a music video tomorrow morning, and needed the TV as part of the scene. However, I did a bit more searching on YouTube, and found this video which solved that problem:

It seems to be the only video/resource online on how to solve the problem. 🙂
It seems to me that a 50 cent battery is a much easier solution.
and it's likely that the ony reason you posted the question was to spam the forum with your YouTube video.

That was my thought as well. But, as I never look at links people post here to YouTube, I wasn't really sure.
Actually, that is not my YouTube account. I'm not annoyed, however, at your accustation as I know what spammers are like and understand your frustration. 🙂 I simply found the answer not long after I posted here and on another forum, and found the decency to let anyone who replied know.
Personally, I would never share my social media details on a forum unless it was relevant. And I don't think the guy who owns that video is a singer in an industrial metal band. 😉
You don't have to watch the video, just know that it was helpful. It explained how you can connect your Apple TV directly to your Wi-Fi modem with an ethernet cable to gain access without an Apple remote control. I'm assuming that is common knowledge, or archived on this site somewhere; but I couldn't find it.
Oh, and I would have bought a 50 cent battery if I had the time. I had to shoot a music video the following morning, and didn't have time to race to the convenient store to find one. But that is just my fault for being unorganised.
