I suspect this is a problem with most routers, they passively cool and 
need a bit of air circulation.

I had terrible problems with an old DLink modem.  I've installed two 
Linksys WAG routers, the one under a desk in the middle of an open room 
works flawlessly.  The one in a cupboard with a heating pipe running 
nearby is far less stable.
