Wifi – Is Wifi fast enough for VDI VMware View or Citrix Xen

vdivmware-viewwifixendesktop

Looking to deploy View or Xen in my house, have a number of older laptops that aren't very quick running Windows 7. Figured I'd run them as VDI clients as I've got the server capacity.

They'd be connecting over wifi, they're mainly G or B laptops but I can add a N usb adapter or PCMCIA card if needed, and dedicate a separate wifi router for them.

For graphically simple uses, you should be fine. There might be times you notice that wireless has higher latency than a "typical" wired network. For graphically intense uses, you'll really notice the diminished bandwidth and increased latency.
