Distribute load?

My last router was a dlink that i used for about 6 months until it decided to stop reciviny my wan ip, making it useless. I have a bunch of router laying around and i decided on a wireless g belkin that i have to do my actual routing. Now this thing gets hot, so i sodderd in a fan ontop of the main chip and it runs like a champ now. Here is my question. I use my network a lot to transfer VERY large files sich as 2 or 3 gig in size(i was transfering files when my Dlink died). Would it be benificial if i shut of the DHCP on my main router and put that workload onto another router on the network?

 

i don't think it would help. in fact, it may "technically" reduce your speed as any machines on the lan will have to poll two different routers; one for a routing table and one for addressing schemes.

if fact, i don't think such a topology is even possible with 50 dollar home routers.

 

Yea i wasent sure if it could be done but i mean why not? You just turn off the DHCP on one and hook a seperate router up the its LAN port with everything shut off but its DHCP. I totaly understand what your saying though, thnks for the reply.
