It depends where you've placed the device.
In general, it should be positioned in a well ventilated place on a firm surface.
If you believe it's getting too hot, you can put some spacers underneath or fix it vertically with the help of the two holes on the bottom:

If your router is working as it should then that's normal.
Sometimes to lower the working temperature if device behaves abnormal, I've seen a suggestions to lower the wireless radio transmission power from high to medium.

@terziyski can you check your router temperature?

I would leave it as it is. I believe that's normal for this time of the year - all my devices experiencing higher temperatures during summer season.
My router is two floors above and I don't have an IR thermometer, but on touch it feels warm - that's normal.
Your highest ambient temperature for using the device is 40℃.
