This FAQ discusses the "WOL & Shutdown Link Speed" option in Realtek network adapters. Realtek sets this option to "10Mbps first" by default to improve power saving. However, for some special use cases involving non-store-and-forward switches and many ports connected to a single computer, changing the option to "100Mbps first" can provide better transfer speeds, especially when sending broadcast or multicast packets such as for image transfers.

A. Realtek change "WOL & Shutdown Link Speed" to "10Mbps first" for better power saving. Realtek add this option because some special usage case. For example, using non store-and-forward switch and a lot of port connect to a computer. If incoming packet is broadcast or multicast, the packet will use the IFG whi ch is the lowest among connected ports. It will dynamically slow down the transfer speed if you use multicast packets or broadcast packet to transfer a image. For such case, you could change to "100Mbps first" to has better transfer spe ed.
