I've had my modem & router on top of the kitchen cabinets since 2015, works great. I do not have a drop there but I fished an extension cord, the coaxial cable and a cat-5 cable from the drop on the countertop wall, up between the cabinets (which was easy). I push the ethernet cable up so it is out of sight but available if I need to hard wire connect to router. If I need to recycle equipment, I just unplug, wait and plug in.
Like I said, works great for me.
