Hi danpool,
I regret to inform you that there is no wireless controller that supports the WG102 access point.
If you need to use a wireless controller within your existing network, I suggest that you will need to replace the WG102 access points with the NETGEAR access points that is supported by either of the following wireless controllers: WC9500 and WC7600. Click on the links below to know more.
WC9500 ProSAFE® High Capacity Wireless Controller
WC7600 ProSAFE® Premium Wireless Controller

Hello Dane
I don't know if you were able to purchase any of the above controllers.
but NETGEAR have since launched a low cost Wireless Controller.
The WC7500. http://www.netgear.co.uk/business/products/wireless/wireless-management/wc7500.aspx?cid=wmt_netgear_organic
Handles 15 access points total and 10 out the box straight away. WC05APL-10000S (to extend to 15)
Can work with our access points from the WAC730 top of the range, right down to the WNAP210 which is a low cost acces point. to replace your WG102's.
Hi David_J,
Thanks for the link you have provided. :)
I believe the WC7500 wireless controller was released in the market some time last August 2016 if I'm not mistaken. It's nice to know that its a low-cost wireless controller. With regard to this, some clients might consider the WC7500 over the WC7600 and WC9500.
