Hi there,
Is it possible to set up managed wireless with the WG102 Access Points? I.e. So we can we connect a controller that will intelligently pass over the connection to other points, depeding on the stregnth of the signal.
If so, which model would work best with the WG102 APs?
Thanks!

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_...
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.
