Default Wireless Network on AOL Broadband

Does anyone know of any products that make it possible to do this with AOL Broadband connection as the pc powers the Modem and is not externally powered so a normal network set up is no good....

They way I had to do it with Ao Hell, was to install a wireless access point on my tower unit, and a wireless USB adapter on my laptop, configure both IP addresses manually, and then use a program called Analog Proxy http://www.analogx.com/contents/news.htm
