It'll probably be just fine. I used an old Dell laptop as my router
for a few years before "upgrading" to a COTS wireless router. My only
concern with running a laptop 24/7 would be potential cooling issues.
If it's ever heavily loaded for a significant amount of time, a lot of
heat may be trapped in by the closed lid.
