There are two ways to put two routers on one cable modem. They can be put in parallel or as a series. Series connections do not need any agreement with the Internet service provider.

Parallel connections are used if two addresses are available from the Internet service provider and the two services need to be independent. Connect the WAN port or the Internet port of each router to an Ethernet switch or hub. Connect the switch or hub to the cable modem and each router will acquire it's own address independently. Each router can be managed without interfering with the service of the other router.
If the two routers will be managed by the same organisation, they can be connected in a series. Connect the WAN or Internet port of one or the routers to the cable modem. This will become the dominate router. Connect the WAN or Internet port of the second router to one of the LAN ports of the first router.
Wireless and wired
If one of the routers is wireless and one is not, the wireless router should be used as the dominant router. Connections behind the secondary router have a extra level of security to protect them against rogue wireless traffic.
