The original, round Philips Hue bridge that was introduced in October 2012 reached its End of Support on April 30, 2020. Signify, the company that develops and maintains the bridge, no longer releases software updates for the v1 bridge. Remote access via the v1 bridge has also been terminated. This includes access via voice assistants (e.g., Amazon Alexa, Google Home). You can still use the old, v1 hardware with the Hue Lights app, but for the best experience and ongoing security updates consider upgrading to the newer, square, Hue Bridge v2. For a better value check out some of the bundled starter kits below that include the Hue Bridge v2 and bulbs.
Here are more details on the Hue End of Support policy for the older, round, Hue Bridge v1.
