According to the specifications here, the MBR1000 router has four LAN ports. Any G3 model has built-in Ethernet (an RJ-45 port). This means that you should be able to establish at least a wired connection.
A DSL modem (if it has Ethernet output) would be connected to the WAN port of the router. Apparently, the router in question is capable of using a 3G mobile broadband (USB or ExpressCard) modem as an alternative Internet source.
For a (local) Wi-Fi connection between computer and router, you could connect a wireless Ethernet bridge (also known as a gaming adapter) to the G3's Ethernet port. Wireless Ethernet bridge examples include D-Link DWL-G820, Linksys WET54G and Linksys WGA600N. These devices do not require special drivers, and can thus be used under almost any operating system.

If the G3 is a PowerBook model, the wireless Ethernet bridge solution is not going to be very portable. Perhaps you could post additional information about the exact type of G3 computer for alternative wireless possibilities.
