As @normis said: this function is intended to detect (and autoconfigure to certain extent) WAN-facing interfaces (which is a very good thing). However, the experience is that detection success rate is lower than we would all love to see and when it fails, then the whole router starts to behave in random unexpected ways. Which means that if the router is administered at least half decently (which includes some thought when plugging in any data cable), its mostly better to disable the feature ... Specially so as it relies on setup which closely resembles (or builds on) default setup. If somebody tears it apart, then leaving detect-internet enabled doesn't make any sense what so ever.
