yeah, it is possible without changing much.
If you the computer that has the USB internet connection is also connected to your wireless router, you can share the USB connection, and the other wireless computer should be able to access the internet threw the connection. Basically, if the two machines are able to communicate now, you can share the connection.
To do this, click on Start, then Control Panel, open up Network connections. Right click on the USB internet connection, and click properties. From this window, click on the advanced tab, and check something that is titled similar to 'allow other network users to use this internet connection'
Next, go into your router, and stop the DHCP service, allowing the machine that is sharing the connection to push out the Ip addresses. OR, you can change the gateway IP of the router to the IP address of the machine with internet.
From that, you should be able to get to the internet from the other machine.

I'm guessing that computerA is connected via USB to the wireless router? If so, the router will handle both computers. You'll just need to setup computerB to access the internet via wireless link to the router. You should be able to access the router console (for configuring) from computerA. Be sure to secure the wireless link! Good luck!...

Yes....hook the wireless router up and open up the console on computer B to look at the access points.
Connect to it and celebrate!
Oh, and I noticed something......Computer A will need to get an ethernet port. Your modem needs to be connected to the router, and your router needs connected to your computer so that computer B can get internet access.

It would be easier and more effective to connect router to internet via ethernet, then connect to computerA via ethernet and share wifi signal to others.

specific, it fairly is fairly universal to have an decrease upload velocity than your get carry of velocity. There are 2 styles of information superhighway connections - Symmetric & uneven. The symmetric connection has comparable get carry of & upload velocity however the Asmmetric connection has low upload velocity than get carry of. So Symmetric Connection expenses way extra advantageous than Asmmetric. because it form of feels you have an asmmetric connection ,you're completely ok.
