I use a Cisco 1200 AP B/A (only A Though) to link my laptop. I do use multicast (which works) but range is not very good (~25') before I start seeing a problem. However, I really only use the laptop for the shared apps (powerpoint, etc...) and for VNC into my boxes for configuration changes. The AP is a little slow but not to the point of not being useful.
My two cents....

Hi there, I'm hoping to integrate a tablet pc as an input device into AG sessions and it would be fantastic for it to be wirelessly connected. Just wanting to know if anyone has a successful multicast wireless system they have implemented with the Access Grid? If so what type of wireless equipment was used and how was it setup? I had a quick try with one of our wireless access points here but it doesn't seem to like multicast packets.
