yes if you have a cable splitter, to run wirelessly buy a router (not a adsl one) and plug in by ethernet to one of the modems

Just get a splitter and connect the modems up and get them running.

The if you want wireless for each you will need 2 seperate wifi routers which will mean two different wireless networks. Unless you can get a load balancing wifi router that has dual WAN ports to connect the two modems to.
