Yes you should be able to connect a wireless router to the cable supplied router. Does the cable company supply a router or just a "modem"? If the cable box has more than one lan output plug then it's a router - only one plug it's a modem. The cable company should not be able to see what equipment is behind the router/modem. Note: if you truly have a router connect the desktop lan wire to the new wireless router then you can share files and printer. Otherwise the new wireless box security will stop you from sharing the printer.
