Unfortunately many wireless hubs intentionally block multicast because of the 
potential to completely swamp the connection with mcast traffic.  We ran into 
similar issues with a robot that used 802.11 to connect itself to the AG. The 
solution was to depend on a unicast bridge to connect into the AG and ensure 
that the AG traffic was isolated enough that it would not swamp the meager 
bandwidth of the wireless interface.

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.
