You're exploring options for a gaming setup. Considering your family size and preferences, it's feasible to use both routers without significantly affecting performance if you configure them properly.
In short, a new internet setup for gamers. If you can place them in separate rooms, it won't cause issues. Just connect to a fresh connection, or use other methods that work better for you.
You could technically set up two wireless networks, but they would clash heavily, causing severe disruption and making them nearly impossible to use. You don’t need a “gaming” router, after all. These devices are similar to gaming chairs—just marketing fluff. Their main function is using QoS to boost traffic for recognized gaming gear. Most routers come with QoS settings you can adjust to get the desired effect.
No, there wouldn't be so much interference that it'd make them unusable. My house has two 5GHz networks, with both of their routers being on the same floor, but because I'm not an idiot and made sure they stick to separate channels they both work as they should. Hell, there have been two different wireless networks in my house for the better part of 5 years (whether it be 2.4GHz or 5GHz) and there have been literally zero issues the entire time. At least make sure what you say isn't blatantly wrong before saying it. That out of the way, yes it'll work fine OP, just slap the second router into AP mode, set your wireless channel settings correctly, and you'll be golden.
Unless Wi-Fi is your sole option, opt for Ethernet—it consistently delivers the optimal gaming experience.
