I have a puck (made by Huawei) to access the Internet with a 3G/LTE connection. I can connect it to my Mac with a USB cable, or I can access it wirelessly with up to 5 devices.

My question is how can I connect it to my router to use it (the puck) as my Internet connection? I have a NAS attached to my router, but no Internet access. I would really like to combine both the puck's wireless connection and the router's connection to my media on the NAS onto the same network. Is this possible, and how would I do it? Thank you.

Maybe but not likely. First your router would need to support client-bridge mode. But because the wireless device is limiting 5 mac you can't use it as a bridge and it does not support WDS either. The only way to make this work is to use a router than can use its wan port as a wireless. Only cheap way is dd-wrt based routers but there are some small number of routers that use wireless as wan or you can place a second device acting as a client-bridge in front of your router wan port.
