Without know what device you have (model number, not name) it's hard to make that assessment. There are many 6 year old Roku players that are still perfectly functional, while others I would completely agree with.
I have the Roku Express. Released in September 2016. In general, they last 3 to 5 years. Time for a new one.
For that specific model, I am in complete agreement. The first generation of Express players are woefully lacking compared to every new device now available. My personal recommendation is the Express 4K+. Even if you don't have a 4K TV, its features and performance are worth the price step up from the basic Express (which even itself is a vast improvement over yours).
In August, I will get the Roku Express 4K+
