linking a 3g dongle to an eircom router

    Hi,
    I recently moved house and am stuck with 3g mobile broadband. My ISP is 3 and I have a Huawei mifi hotspot 3g dongle(E5220). My problem is that this dongle only allows connection to 5 devices and the wifi signal is terrible.
    However I own a new eircom router (zyxel d1000 ) black with usb port in the back. Is it possible to somehow connect the 3g dongle to the eircom router? The connection has to be either wireless or micro usb to usb. I tried simply plugging in the dongle to the router to the usb and nothing happened. Ethernet will not work as the dongle does not have an ethernet port.
    The overall connection should look like this : internet>>3g dongle>>Eircom router>>several devices (wifi).
    I tried finding a solution online and a few solutions suggested using a computer in between the dongle and the router. This is not what I'm looking for. I need the dongle ad the router to be connected directly.
    I am somewhat a novice so please explain things to me :D

    Thank you for any replies you may post and if you don't undersand my situation, please ask. :):D
