    help me choose.

    i've got 2 laptops (wireless-n) and 3 wired connections. my apartment is about 1200-1300 sq ft. it's an old building, so there is probably a bit more interference than normal due to older wiring in the walls.

    i'm not overly concerned about the price difference (there are ways around that), just want to know which will give me the best performance. i[ve read good and bad things about both and can't seem to come to a consensus.

    I have the 160N. My apt is only about ~850sq ft but it picks up great through a couple of walls. I even go outside and sit at the picnic tables and still have great signal. That's about another 30-40ft away
