A technique for buffering multicast messages in an access point (AP) relates to buffering multicast messages in an AP when a client of the AP is in powersave mode. Attributes of clients are used to group the clients into subsets, so multicast messages only need to be buffered if one of the clients in the subset in which an intended recipient is a member is in powersave mode. The buffered multicast message may then be sent at a later time when intended recipients are not in powersave mode.
