If I understand you, you use a USB adapter to connect to the "portal". You
can't connect that USB into a wifi router. You'll have to go:

PORTAL -> DESKTOP PC --internet sharing--> Wifi router --wireless--> laptops

So you'll need an ethernet port in your PC that you plug the router into.
It then shares your connection wirelessly to the rest.

Good luck!
