If there's this much power to dissipate, how about a heatsink or even a fan?

So far it has been very reliable but the only problem to me is the heat build-up (very warm to the touch) that it quickly builds up.

The other small point is the unit does get very hot and does not come with a stand so you can stand it upright to help dissipate the heat.

Other Thoughts: This is the same design as my old Linksys WRTN160 but so far does not seem to over heat like the other one did, could be because the 160 was 2 years old and this is brand new, we shall see.
from www.amazon.com
I fashioned some small wooden blocks in order to raise the unit an additional inch in order to give it some breathing room and reduce the heat beneath the router.
