Mine has been on 24 hours a day for several months. It's sitting
horizontally on a table, with a couple of millimetres gap underneath due to
the feet on the router. I've just felt it now and it's warm, especially
underneath the label on the base, but it's nowhere near as hot as my
laptop's USB wireless adaptor or its power supply, both of which can get
almost too hot to touch.

I've never had connection problems over Ethernet, and the only wireless
problems have been due to the laptop's wireless adaptor rather then the
router - ie unplugging/replugging the wireless adaptor solves the lack of
comms, without the router needing to be rebooted.

I've it on 24/7 and have no problem with over heating some experienced. I
have it stands vertically on the stand provided in the box.

I have a DG834G router and it did feel to be rather hotter than I
thought acceptable when placed horizontally, but it certainly wasn't too
hot to touch though.
I do not recall any connection problems at that time.

Having fitted the provided 'feet' so that it stands vertically, the
device is now barely warm, and on power 24 hours/day.

It's damned annoying that the indicators are set for horizontal use
though!

Snap - my DG834G has been on its feet since day one and in use 24/7
without any overheating issues.
