How do I hook up my Vizio Smart TV to the internet if I do not have a TV remote

Only chance without the remote is to use a wired connection (Ethernet) instead of WiFi, that's provided your TV has an Ethernet port of course. If router is nowhere near the TV, you can provide an Ethernet port next to the TV by using a pair of powerline adapters.

What's puzzling me is why you have no remote for the TV - - seems to crop up quite regularly on various forums - - and it's always Vizio televisions - - don't Vizio give you a remote with their TV sets

Unless the TV has enough buttons on it to allow you to access the menu system you won't be able to go online.
Most "universal" remotes won't have all the codes for the Vizio so I suggest you get either an original remote or a Logitech Harmony remote.
