It's hard to pinpoint exactly what affects the outcome. Factors like the number of walls, their materials, and how they use the wireless band play a role. The best approach is to run tests with a mobile device, though even then Wi-Fi signals between devices can vary slightly, leading to different results.
I really appreciate the idea of something "small and easy to hide." If it's not concealed, performance suffers. It seems they shouldn't be suggesting such things, because people often place routers behind TVs and get frustrated with weak signals. The mention of "unofficial wall brackets" is also a bit odd—if it isn’t built for mounting, the antenna pattern will be off, and air vents on the bottom might cause overheating. For coverage, ceiling-mounted APs usually perform best since they’re less blocked by furniture.
On top of the fridge, you have some books, stickers, and tape, plus the wall above it.
It might work sometimes, but it depends on the situation. WiFi spreads in all directions, so shifting it slightly won’t always help much—reflections or absorption by metal still occur. In certain scenarios it could help, yet it might also cause problems. Generally, place the router as far from metal objects as you can, and using a ceiling is best since it’s less likely to run into obstacles before reaching your device.
5GHz coverage from a typical router is quite limited. When sharing a 5GHz hotspot from a phone, your signal only reaches about one average room. A single router with its own antenna covers roughly one room. With four antennas, you'd expect coverage in four rooms. If you run a speed test and latency check at least ten feet away, especially with walls blocking the signal, 2.4GHz remains faster and more dependable. Most devices perform better on 2.4GHz. Research even suggests that strong 5GHz signals can disrupt sleep. Using OFDM mode is recommended for optimal performance.
