I'm in a bit of a bind! The gym in my apartment complex has Samsung TVs, but the leasing office has taken away the remote controls. We also don't have the WiFi password for the network the TVs are using, so using a universal remote app isn't an option either. The TVs are mounted really high on the wall, making it impossible to reach the buttons or see any serial numbers. I've heard that some people connect a wireless mouse or controller via USB, but with the TVs being out of reach, that's not feasible. Does anyone have any creative suggestions for how to control these TVs?

If your phone has an infrared blaster, you could download the Mi Remote app and use it as a TV remote. It worked for me, but I don't know how effective it is on newer phones since mine is a bit older!
I'm not sure about tech solutions, but you could always complain to the management about the situation. They should provide either the remote or the WiFi password!
You might want to check out a cheap universal remote from a local store like Walmart. They often have selections that might work with your TVs, and you could get lucky!
There are Samsung replacement remotes available for around $10 on Amazon. That might be an easy fix if you can order one!
