BT2091 wireless router - very warm

I was round at a friend's house last night setting up broadband for them,
which included a BT2091 wireless router. Everything worked, but it struck
me that this router, which is presumably _designed_ to be on all the time,
runs very warm indeed. It's almost uncomfortable to touch---`cup of warm
coffee'-type temperature. It's the first one of these I've seen: should
this be considered normal, and nothing to worry about?

IME, it's nothing unusual, but that doesn't mean not to worry about it.

Call BT and threaten to sue them for destroying your antique French
polish decor...
