Do you have to mount them upside down on a ceiling? Or can you do tabletop?

They are intended to be mounted on a ceiling or wall, and have antenna radiation patterns designed for that use. Putting them in any other orientation will likely make them less effective.

The Unifi FlexHD is an AP designed to sit on a tabletop. You'd have better luck with that if you aren't able to ceiling-mount or wall-mount.
