Well, it doesn't need to be USB3, unless your Internet connection truly
exceeds 480Mbps (which I doubt).  My suggestion for a very cheap
solution would be a Raspberry Pi or similar.

Hook the USB modem up to it, use its Ethernet port to connect to the WAN
port of your router.  Since it runs full fledged Debian Linux, the
device is fully under your control.  You could even do away with the
router and have it feed your LAN directly.
