If AP transmits multicast packet, packet is transmitted over air with multicast receiver address (and yes - only single copy of packet is transmitted no matter how many clients are registered). As there is no single recipient of packet, it does not get acked - therefore delivery is not reliable (no retransmissions in case somebody does not receive packet). Due to this unreliable delivery, lowest basic rate is used to ensure as reliable delivery as possible. So even if you can send unicast stream between AP and Station using 54Mpbs air rate, multicasts are sent only using 6Mbps air rate (assuming that 6Mbps is lowest basic rate).
Increase your lowest basic rate to get better wireless speeds. Keep in mind that this may keep clients with signals that aren’t stellar from connecting at all.

OK, i’ve tried to find that option before with no success.
Where (in winbox) is that done?
Or assuming wlan3 where in terminal do I specify the lowest basic rate?
Going to try again (find via winbox ou configure via terminal)
