Two wifi routers on two separate ISPs - will they interfere?

Question

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