WiFi router & Cable modem question

sounds like the simplest solution is a e net switch. between the cable modem and the routers. And have the file-shared cMP plugged into my router's e-net port. The VoIp box on the switch as well.

That probably won't work. The cable modems usually only allow for a single device to be plugged into them and it assigns your WAN IP address to that device.

For the type of separation you want, probably one router plugged into the other router. You'll need to have them set to different LAN ranges, eg they both can't be 192.168.0.xxx. And devices connected to the chained router might have issued trying to determine their WAN IP address.
