Hi James,

:)

The solution was as simple as follows:

I did this:

./create_ap wlan0 eth1 <name> <pass>

and I was happy to have my first access point created...
that one which seems to use morse code to transfer data.
That was yesterday evenining.
The I heard of different protocols from which one was
old and slow and others speedy and "newer"

Then I did this (a few miniutes ago):
./create_ap --ieee80211n wlan0 eth1  <name> <pass>

And TADA! the internet transfer rate measured with conky
(as mentioned before) jumps from 80Kb/sec up to the most
my DSL can delver (which is not that much, since I have 
choosen a cheap low end of transfer rates possible from
my DSL provider. NOW the linux installation on my Android
tablet show real progress (and fails for other reasons,
I currently dont have figured out).

I am happy with the result - except for the non working
Linux installation, which is another problem...unfortunately
I dont speak a single word Russian and the forum of the
Android Installation tool is Russian spoken...

We will see, James.

Thank you very much for your detailed help!!! 8)

Best regards,
Meino
