The design often omits wall mounting because the units are placed on the back, making them hard to see and install. This reduces flexibility and usability for users who prefer a more discreet setup.

It seems the design likely assumes the device is placed flat. If you truly wish, you should definitely build a wall mount yourself.

Finding it tough to set up MU-MIMO with antennas that works well and fits on walls.

If the router had been designed better, these bands might have worked. However, many routers feature a wedge shape, which complicates their use. This is especially true since the band can interfere with RJ-45 ports for proper installation. It definitely adds difficulty for users, as engineers no longer provide good wall mount options. Even older routers that looked similar to wedge designs, like the Asus RT-N66U, had mounting holes. It seems like a shift in router design priorities occurred.
