Hi, The rates that you'll get for multicast over the WLAN tends be heavily dependent on the choice of AP and how it is configured for multicast use - the default tends to be to transmit multicast at quite low transmission rates. Additionally any 'power-saving' clients that associate with that AP can also adversely affect the performance of multicast see: http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/3433451 http://www.cwnp.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=4090&;
So as suggested - it would be best to just do unicast over the wireless. Take care to not put multicast onto the WLAN (using firewalling or making sure ttl is set to 0 for client side re-transmission) as the low transmission rate multicast can swamp the WLAN network such that unicast traffic also suffers.
