This bothers me for a while and I finally have to ask. There's this thing:
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... t+Internet
Which in short "categorizes monitored interfaces into the following states - Internet, WAN, LAN, unknown, and no-link". At first sight, it seems that it surely must be useful for something, right? That's what I thought when I first saw it. Trouble is, at second and subsequent sights, I don't see it. And reading the forum a lot, I've seen several of Detect Internet unexpectedly (not that unexpedly if you read manual) messing up interface lists, but I don't remember single praise for it being useful for something.
So please help me. Do you use Detect Internet? Why? What actual good does it do for you?

First discovered use: Mobile application uses it to find WAN interfaces, in order to show their traffic. Seems like an overkill to me. It's not like they are coming and going all the time, one-time manual selection by user would be enough IMO.
