Q: How long does Apple support it's routers for?
Basically. I'm looking for a new router I'd like to know how long Apple support their routers for, I know security flaws and bugs are found quite often so I'd like to know how long it's going to be before a router would stop receiving updates as I know other router manufactures out there once a router is end of life that's it no firmware updates will be available.
Thanks.

Firmware updates for a product do not always end when the model is discontinued. For example, say you bought a 2nd Generation AirPort Extreme in 2008, and it was discontinued in 2009. Apple continued to offer firmware updates for this product up until June 2013. Not bad.
So, it's just not possible to accurately predict what Apple might do in the future with any given product.
