I own a cm2050v modem. It has 1 LAN port. How do I expand it to 2 LAN ports?

By adding a router.
The cm2050v is a cable modem with voice (phone) capability. It cannot handle more than one Internet connection.
You need to add a router that supports several LAN ports. This will also provide you with wifi capability.
If you already have something that does wifi, then that is your router and you need to plug LAN devices into that.
