I Have Two Routers , The Admin Is 3com and the other is Netgear connected together by WDS , when I play online some times the signal go down then up , i know its from the wds signal because it only happens when i move the netgear router .

WDS : is a way to connect two routers via wireless connection

Play with it... We find that moves as small as two inches make a big difference in signal strength... but keep whatever you use at least 8 inches away from any wall, and 12 inches away from any room corner... then play with it...

A signal-strenght meter can be of great help in the setup.
