what is VLAN/bridge and should I enable it?

I noticed at the bottom of the advanced page there is an option called VLAN/Bridge group. What does it do and should I enable it?

Do you have a need for this? 

Is your system working currently?

      Do not think it will help, and may cause problems.

      Usually any more processing can impact performances. You can try and see, if nothing seems to make anything better or a problem appears, disable it.
