Two wifi routers on two separate ISPs - will they interfere?
I currently have a Nighthawk wifi router connected to one of our two ISPs. I would like to add wifi to the other ISP. I would like to buy another Nighthwk like the one I already have. Will the two wifi routers interfere with each other? Can I select different channels to keep them from interfering?

What are you using with it now?

If their radios' frequencies overlap, yes. Same as if you have
(close) neighbors.

Normally. You might find some relevant information in a widely
neglected resource:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for "Specify Basic
WiFi Settings" (or "channel").
Possibly interesting (regarding channel overlap):
