I don't have any experience with it, but here's what Google told me: http://www.wireless-nets.com/resources/tutorials/802.11_multicasting.html "When any single wireless client associated with an access point has 802.11 power-save mode enabled, the access point buffers all multicast frames and sends them only after the next DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) beacon, which may be every one, two, or three beacons (referred to as the “DTIM interval”). [...] default 100 millisecond beacon interval" http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/3433451 "all it takes is one wireless client using 802.11 power saving to cause the access point to buffer multicast frames for all clients, and you may not be able to control whether or not users switch on power save mode."
