The non-IT guide to buying a home wireless router

How do you know which home wireless router to buy? It's easy! Just follow the 8 golden rules below.

Honey, this is what we want.

1. The bigger the size of the retail box, the better it is!
2. The retail box must be attractive, preferably with a gloss shine. It looks more impressive and turns head.
3. If the retail box is heavy, it means it has quality components and thick manuals. Good quality components are heavy and good products have thick manuals.
4. It must have a foreign sounding name. Home grown companies is a no-no.
5. Big numbers and the number of features matters. Plug and pray is a must. 
6. The more wireless antenna it has, the better it is. Wireless radiation may cause brain cancer though.
7. It is the cheapest router on the shelf. This has the highest priority among all the rules. Remember your home financial controller will not increase your IT budget.
8. Refer to rule #7.

Reality sucks though.
