More than 1 router on cable

I would like to know if it is possible to branch off the primary Linksys Router hooked to the cable modem with another router (linksys) to in effect create a secure network within the network from the first router. Computers on the primary network (the first router from the modem) would not be able to see those behind the secondary router, and I don't care if the secondaries see those on the primary network. All PC's need to have access to the internet.

sure, two routers are more secure and it is possible. if you don't want 1st network to see the 2nd network, that is easy and you don't need to worry about routing table.
