Apple abandons developing its own wireless routers

Apple has disbanded its division that develops wireless routers, another move to try to sharpen the company’s focus on consumer products that generate the bulk of its revenue, say sources.

Apple began shutting down the wireless router team the past year, dispersing engineers to other product development groups, including the one handling the Apple TV.

Apple hasn’t refreshed its routers since 2013 following years of frequent updates to match new standards from the wireless industry.
