Netgear EX6200 Running Hot

My Netgear Extender 6200 seems very warm. I just wanted to know if this was normal. It's in a well ventilated area, and I was just surprised with how warm it was to the touch. I thought I saw other things online talking about extenders and routers running pretty warm, but just wanted to check. We've had it for a few years now.

 

Thank you.

    Its its working, I wouldn't worry about it. 

    Newer electronics do tend to run warmer but if its been running great for quite a while, I wouldn't worry.

      Thank you so much for your reply. I greatly appreciate it. It has been working fine, and I just got worried when I went to move it a little. We'll just keep it going for now :)
