No


Your next question might be whether Apple will offer an update, and that would be up to Apple to decide. They never reveal their plans in advance, and tend to be late to the party. For example, Apple was one of the last companies to offer updates to handle the recent KRACK attack.


As you are aware, Apple has discontinued the AirPort line, so whether or not they will offer future updates is open to question.
