Can you get specific about what you want to do? Do you already have Internet access through a wireless router at your location? Do you have cable/DSL access through the hard-wired network, and you want to be able to access that with your wireless? There are permutations inherent in your question that make it impossible to answer until you get more specific about what you already have.

There are several ways to connect a wireless modem to a cabled network of three PCs. One option is to use a wireless router that has both wireless and Ethernet ports. You can connect the modem to the router using an Ethernet cable, and then connect the three PCs to the router using Ethernet cables.

Another option is to use a wireless access point, which acts as a bridge between the wireless modem and the cabled network. In this case, you would connect the modem to the access point using an Ethernet cable, and then connect the access point to the cabled network using another Ethernet cable. The three PCs can then connect to the access point using Ethernet cables.

If your PCs do not have Ethernet ports, you can also use a wireless network adapter to connect them to the cabled network. This adapter will allow the PCs to connect to the wireless modem and access the internet.

It is important to note that in order for the wireless modem to connect to the cabled network, the network must have a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to the devices. If the network does not have a DHCP server, you may need to manually configure the IP addresses for each device.

Overall, the process of connecting a wireless modem to a cabled network involves using a wireless router, access point, or network adapter to bridge the two networks together. It is important to ensure that all devices are properly configured and connected in order for the connection to work effectively.
