To wirelessly connect 3 PC's to a cable modem, you will need:

Wireless NIC's for each PC
Wireless Access Point (basically a wireless hub)
Some sort of network address translation device so 3 PC's can share a single IP address.

Linksys makes an access point/router (http://www.linksys.com/products/prod...id=173&grid=19) that will take care of the NAT portion and the wireless AP. all you will need to do is get the wireless NICs.
