I notice they also have three transmit power settings, I have not

more heat dissipated.
I wouldn't think that the low power levels that WiFi uses were
sufficient for them to be a heating problem. Naturally how quickly the
battery gets flattened increases, but it shouldn't be a huge
difference. Especially when you consider that your devices will be
mostly receiving, rather than prolonged transmissions (unless you were
broadcasting video).
