Apple has removed listings for all its AirPort wireless routers from the online Apple Store.
Apple officially discontinued its AirPort lineup of routers including the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule back in April. At the time, the company said that they would be available while supplies last. It appears that supplies have now run out.
As a replacement, Apple has added the Linksys Velop Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System to its online store. You can purchase the Velop system with one, two, or three nodes for homes of varying sizes. Prices on Apple's store are $179.95 for one, $299.95 for two, and $449.94 for three.
If you're looking for something cheaper, Amazon currently has the well reviewed Netgear Orbi Whole Home Mesh WiFi System with three nodes on sale for $246.17.

I’ve had an Airport Express for years and have several drives connected to it. I’ve been quite satisfied and can’t imagine why Apple would give up on a good product like that. I’ll keep my Airport till it stops working.

I personally felt the performance of these routers wasn't great compared to competitors.

That’s because you don’t know about greater speeds (AC) and more range.
The only good thing about their routers was the line out jack. Other than that, they were a complete waste of cash.

You must not really know much about routers. They had one of the best router is on the market. They did do AC and more. It’s unfortunate That Apple is stepping out of the router business. They really had one of the best easiest routers to set up and it was really secure. Rarely ever needed to be restarted. RIP apple airport devices

The technical range and options like IPv6 and standard firmware features are limited compared to newer hardware. The 2013 hardware is becoming obsolete and the AC bandwidth performance with non-Apple devices can be a concern.
