Are you using an active antenna (AA) or an access point (AP) there? Ah, I see below it is an AA.

With AAs and laptops in a dense setup (meaning close together) we are seeing some trouble somewhere in the 10-20 machines range unfortunately.On the other hand, if the machines that appeared to be missing still could access the internet, then something else is afoot.
