Both my Firestick and router are from ~June of '20, so thinking it might be time.
Amazon is running a deal where you can get the latest and greatest Firestick for $40 (and I could maybe get it for a little less if trade in my old one). My router is through my internet and TV provider, so I could probably get it changed out for free. But I don't have any buffering issues on any other streaming apps which I run through my smart TV so I think it's probably more the Firestick than the router.

Internet companies usually do not install very good routers. Always best to purchase your own. I have the for sale on the website and we monitor them and keep them updated on firmware. Or you can order one from Best Buy.
You really need to lock off all folders/channels you are not using so your firestick is not trying to refresh and download shows you wont ever watch. Like the foreign stuff. Need to do that in Live TV Movies and Series
on the app.
Settings
Parental controls
you can set a code or use 00000
go through and lock everything you dont watch
You can check your firestick to see how much capacity you have left That will tell you if you need a new firestick.
You also need to go in and delete all apps you dont use. They are always working in the background and use data
