so i have a wireless router and wireless networking adapter for my xbox 360 and i was wondering if anyone knew if my connection would be worse and made more laggy if my brother bought a 360 and used the same wireless connection, or if it simply wouldnt be effected at all, thanks in advance

i think it depeneds on the speed of your internet conection if it is a very fast one then it shouldnt be affected
mine is quite fast but i get affected by backups running on my shared WIRED PC

Me and my brother use the same wireless connection with out 360's and it works fine. We even play together.
Things get a bit laggy when we're also using utorrent and the like on our laptops at the same time :P

Doubling the bandwidth usage will definitely take a hit on your connection. But most connections these days should be able to handle it with relative ease. If you're on a slow DSL line, it's not going to work out too well. But you should be fine.
