Put the hub wherever is convenient to you and which gets you the WiFi signal you require in whatever room you need.

Ideally place the hub somewhere central away from other devices and objects which can blcok the signal, ideally as high as possible as opposed to on the floor.

You could consider acquiring a longer ethernet cable to go between the ONT and the Hub: ethernet supports up to 100 metres without any impact on speed.
