5. To configure a security profile, select the corresponding radio button to the left of the security

Enable The check box that specifies whether the security profile is enabled. If you
select the check box and click the Apply button, the security profile is
enabled.
Note: You cannot disable security profile #0 (NETGEAR) for either radio
band. To disable this security profile, turn off the radio for the radio band (see
Configure 802.11bg/ng/bgn WiFi Settings on page 23 and Configure
802.11a/a-na-ac WiFi Settings on page 25).
WMF-Enable The check box that specifies whether Wireless Multicast Forwarding (WMF)
is enabled. If you select the check box and click the Apply button, WMF is
enabled.
WMF is required for applications that use multicasting, such as VLC
streaming applications. When WMF is enabled, the access point converts
multicast traffic to unicast traffic. WMF improves the overall performance
because the access points transmits data according to the capability of
each WiFi client.
