Added a 3rd laptop takes internet down

Using C6300 and I have 2 laptops logged into the Internet and when I add a 3rd laptop it takes the internet down.  Since the 3rd laptop was new I returned it but now the replacement laptop is causing the same issue.  Is there a limitation for the number of PCs that can be on the wireless?

Any suggestions what may be causing this issue?
