I found another good use for this router, and this time works like a charm. I use a cigarette lighter-to-usb adapter to power it up... and any time I need access to the internet from my car, the router (which has way way better reception than n800 or laptop) will find the strongest open wifi signal, test it for internet access and then rebroadcast it for me. I can be about 200m away from my car and still receive the signal.

Glad you have a successful Plan B for a part of the setup. Besides, I'd already said many posts ago that what you really want in the way of a high-powered receiving apparatus for the Tablet is something that's mobile! Looks like you've succeeded!
