Yes you can do this.
Just set them with a different ssid and channel.
not a big deal.
Next time, I'd push for switching to a business class like the SXK80 where you can seperate out ssid's and only have to pay for the one modem/isp connection.

Hi, well ive installed first RBR with 4 RBS and works magnificently,986 mbps,down and 842mbps up. i then turned everything off and installed second system on second isp modem and i thought all was going superbly ,same up and down speeds, BUT when i tried to load Netflix and other apps i couldnt connect!!when i looked into things it became apparent that the sec protocol is WPA28-PSK(AES),now i looked into changing the settings but did not see this option. HUH!! Is there anyway of accessing somewhere in the interface so i can change the orbi s settings because i cant change the isp modems settings,
thans for all your help,keith

Security settings for wifi is under Basic Tab/Wireless settings.
WPA2 and AES should work well...
