I am looking for a wall mount enclosure for the FTTH termination box, modem and wireless router.
Can someone suggest ideas on what and where to buy such an enclosures?
 
You won't need a wall mount more than 1U for this. 2U maximum. These things are readily available on Amazon, Plantex for instance provides 1U, 2U, 3U and what they call a 3U+. All of them below 4k.

I had one CCTV kinda box, placed ONT, Switch, Router, Access Point and Power Extention box in it and got it mounted to wall by an electrician.
One night, I was trying to tinker with routers, stood on the table and was doing my regular stuff in that box. Then I slipped off the table, got my ass broken(not literally) and while trying to not fall, I held the CCTV box very tightly, it also came with me down.

Suggestion : If you are willing to get that box, please dont mount it higher than your height.

It's best to not mount anything if you are going to tinker around with it regularly. I have mounted both Airtel ONT and TP-Link router on the wall on a cheap router stand and the whole wiring is a mess now. Whenever I have to fiddle with the router/ONT, I just pray that I didn't break the fiber cable by accident because then Airtel would take ages to fix the same.
I am very busy nowadays and honestly very tired by EOD so it's not possible for me to sort that mess out.
It's always advisable to keep everything on a table or a plane open surface like on the top of a book shelf or something so that it's easy to route cables and easy to play with in case one runs into issues.
That's what I did with my Tata Play connection, placed the ONT on my desk itself.
