TVs & players

I had a Roku media player connected to my tv in my garage and now it just will not connect or find my WiFi. I’ve had it for a few years and was thinking about trying the Roku stick. Should I get it or stick with the media player? Will buying a new one be able to connect to my WiFi router? Never had a problem before now. My tv out there is pretty old but it does have the HDMI port.
