That just wouldn't work for a start, you can only run a single modem that is why people get routers to share the connection.
You would need to connect the PC by ethernet to the Router.
Wireless isn't that bad, I have my laptop on wireless and my iMac by ethernet and still get a great connection and full download speed on the laptop and low pings in games.
