xbox live with one of my xbox's, if I have a hub, and I connect two xbox's to it, will it lag anymore, or not?

Unfortunatly this will not work. The gaming adapter can only be used for one console at a time. If you connect it to a hub with two consols only one consol will beable to access live at a time......

Short answer: yes.
Longer answer: but you may not notice. Your bro has some upstream and downstream bandwidth limitation. There are ways to check statistics and capacity, but the easiest way is going to be to plug in your box and see. If you haven't noticed problems with one box, chances are that you will have enough capacity for the normal case, even with two pretty intensive games transmitting and receiving. If you have noticed problems you might be nearing your capacity, and if so I'd suggest giving your bro some extra cash to buy a bigger pipe or else don't use both xboxes at once.
I would recommend a switch (or even another router) connected to a single wireless adapter as the best case for your scenario, but two wireless adapters or even a hub connected to the wireless LAN should do.
