As someone with a telecommunications background who's taken apart some cheap routers that look like that: the only caveat I'll add is that the antennas are only useful if they're actually connected to anything. From a decently trustworthy brand you're probably fine, but I've seen a few where only one or two of the antenna couplings were connected to anything internally.
There's no shortage of liars and cheats everywhere. I'm unsurprised that a company world either intentionally, or through sheer ignorance, have "antennas" that are little more than aesthetic pieces of plastic.
