The PCs #1a/b/c are not regulated (employee own laptops)
and PCs #2a/b/c are regulated with company databases, etc.

I want PCs #2a/b/c to get to the modem and the internet.

Hi sala, I don't understand Your setup.
What type of modem (analog or DSL) and where installed?
What types of routers (do they don't have a modem integrated)?

I'm thinking that because PCs #1x are unregulated and
might have viruses, I might want to restrict them from
accessing PCs #2x. Is this possible with the second router?

This can not be said without knowledge about Your HW setup.
i.e. describe Your network in more details.
How do the employee PCs attach to the company network?
Are they restricted to only company but not private use?

Can the 2nd router be configured so PCs #1x can access PC #2c but
not the other two?
Why do You use routers for PC interconnection?
How do they connect to the company network?
There are several ways to prevent one PC connecting another.
This has nothing to do with Routers (as far as I can see).

There should be only one router (incl. Modem) for I-Net connection.
The open question is, how are the employees PCs connected to the
company's network?

What was Your sense of using two routers (w/o integrated Modem)?
