I have the NetGear MR1100 router, and Lynwood is right. The battery will eventually swell and cause problems. Also, you are killing the life of the battery by leaving it plugged in.
You can tether the NetGear using USB to your laptop, or simply charge it. Tethering with the USB cable can potentially be faster as USB has a faster throughput than Wifi, however, you probably won't notice a difference as the limiting factor will still be the speed of the connection on the AT&T side of things. In most cases, there's no real world benefit to tethering vs. using the wifi. Also the Wifi will allow other connections besides just your laptop.
