DHCP activity from 4 devices will not slow your network, much less take it down.
A DHCP negotiation to get an IP address takes 4 UDP packets, all of them usually below 500 bytes in size.
Not even when you have set the lease time to the theoretical minimum of 1s, this traffic will be at all significant in your network.
