Although it should not have the effect of limiting traffic to 40kbps, don't forget that multicast frames must be transmitted at a rate that is included in the Basic rate set according to the IEEE 802.11 specification. The basic rate set usually includes 1Mbps, not the 11Mbps or even 54Mbps (in 802.11g radios) that your client may claim to be its rate (which it is for unicast traffic). You may want to try removing the lower rates from the Basic set on the access point, to see if your throughput increases, if this is in a test environment. If a client does not support the Basic rate, it will not associate. -- Peter Gutierrez OIT/Network Services U.
