Maybe there's some sort of RF interference with the laptops? WIth such close proximity all broadcasting at the same time? The limit should be theoretically high. I'm going with radio frequency interference because i regularly have 5 wireless clients. Channel 11 is a channel that designates auto-scanning, it sits and scans all the channels for connect requests then redirects the client to channel 11 for data transfer.

You configure the number of DHCP clients in the routers web interface.
