It specifies the Ethernet mode of LAN of this AP.
Auto-negotiation: This mode features a high transmission rate but short transmission
distance. Generally, this mode is recommended.
10M half-duplex: This mode features a long transmission distance but relatively low
transmission rate (10 Mbps).
This mode is recommended only if the Ethernet cable that connects the LAN port of
the AP to a peer device exceeds 100 meters. In this case, the connected LAN port of
the peer device must work in auto-negotiation mode. Otherwise, the LAN port of the
AP may not be able to properly transmit or receive data.
