No, you cannot connect your iPad to a router's USB and do anything useful.

Most routers with USB ports are used either for making local USB printers visible on a network or might accommodate a hard drive to be used as a NAS. Rarely would the USB ports be used for networking. Perhaps one of your computers using the wifi has a slow wifi card and is bringing down the rest of the devices. Ethernet of course will be faster than wifi, it normally is faster, but you lose mobility.
