I ordered the wireless usb adapter asus USB-N13 N300 ( http://www.asus.com/Networking/USBN13/overview/) but received the Asus USB-N14 N300 (http://www.asus.com/Networking/USBN14/overview/) instead.

Lol I don't know if I should return it? Which one is actually better? the USB-N13 is more portable but I would think that the external antennas of the USB-N14 would have much better reception?

I'm not familiar with either device, but as a general rule, having antennas would give you better reception than not having antennas, and the N14 can be moved around a bit if your wifi only cooperates in certain spots. The N14 doesn't look terribly big, and would probably be easy to carry around if you had to. Those antennas look detachable which would help. Of course, the N13 is much, much smaller. Pick whichever one fits your needs more.
