Most routers these days have omnidirectional antenna's in them. doesn't mean there isn't a bit of optimal positioning as they tend to work better horizontal (broadcast covers a floor level). Placing it veritally might impact it enough to change that. All you can do is try it.

I wall mounted my RAX200 and it works fine but I also have an orbi setup providing the majority of my coverage because I've always had dead spots in my home.

Could you please elaborate on your setup (RAX200+Orbi)?

I've just bought a RAX200 and really wanna hang it on the wall, however, if that impairs it's performance i'm gonna tabletop it. On the other hand I don't mind picking up Orbi as well. Your input is much appreciated.

  Oh, I see, so your RAX200 and Orbi are hooked up to the switch and work independently from each other. Cool, thx!
