There is indeed this si what you need, its just a matter of plugging the dongle in and settings up wireless security connecting everything and that should be you.

They do seem to cost more than normal wireless routers. Huawei D100 is what your looking for if you want to look elsewhere.
Agree with con. You can’t just plug the 3 dongle into something to share it; If I recall correctly it needs software.
It is probably possible to (in Windows XP / Vista) use “Internet Connection Sharing” and re-share the connection using your laptop as the gateway with the other devices connecting to the laptop’s wireless – but be warned this is fiddly and generally not worth it.
