I have an AppleTV. Have had it for years. Moved to a new location with a new wifi. The remote is gone and can’t seem to be able to pair my iPhone with said AppleTV. It doesn’t pop up in my phone’s Bluetooth. But the Home Screen is on the display of the TV screen. So it’s connected and has power but I have no control.

Can you tell us which model?

The Apple TV box and the iPhone need to be connected to the same home network. As long as your Apple TV box’s network settings haven’t been configured yet, you can’t use the software remote on iPhone. [Ethernet could be a workaround, as Oolongtime mentioned.]

The remote is gone
If you lost the remote for your Apple TV - Apple Support
Consider buying a replacement remote, or else borrowing a remote temporarily to help in setting up the software remote.
It doesn’t pop up in my phone’s Bluetooth.
The software remote isn’t supposed to use Bluetooth, but instead Wi-Fi.
But the Home Screen is on the display of the TV screen. So it’s connected and has power but I have no control.
That says nothing about network connectivity, unfortunately.

Have you tried plugging the Apple TV box directly into your modem/router with an Ethernet cable? Depending on your Apple TV model, this should work.
Also, I can mirror my screen to the appleTV and so, the tv screen, but can’t connect it to Wi-Fi or my phone remote to use as I normally would.
Screen mirroring works, cannot connect my iPhone to use as a remote no Wi-Fi
