I got a used shield tube. Didn't come with a remote. Whoever previously owned it still has their google account on it. The psu was bad. I fixed it within a hr after getting it in the mail.

I was able to connect my cell with the remote app. I couldn't figure out how to connect to wifi. Seems to instantly disable wifi when using wired. And when I disconnect the ethernet cable, lose connection to shield in my remote app.

Got annoyed & shut it off for the day. I was wanting to factory reset it but after watching some vids, seems like the official remote or controller is required to continue in the setup process. But I could be wrong.

Really don't want to waste $30-50 on a remote just to finish the setup. I plan on mainly using my cell & xbox series controller.
