School chromebook bandwidth problem

Hi there - we are a small school and have recently purchased 30 chromebooks. We have a wifi network with access points in each classroom. We also have a suite of laptops that happily all connect to the internet at the same time. With the chromebooks, as soon as more than 6 or 7 are turned on, the bandwidth collapses - I have tested it using iplayer and streaming radio but it ends up saying you are not connected to the internet or not enough bandwidth. I have spoken to a few people and they commented that there are certain tweaks for classroom chromebooks - I just can't seem to find them! Any help gratefully received

Sorry for delay in posting. Went into school and checked the wifi settings against some of these sites...it was set to 2.4Ghz - upped it to 5Ghz. Started up the chromebooks and got 9 going before the connection died - phoned the broadband provider and they confirmed that we maxed out on our 10mb connection - they confirmed that the issue is bandwidth into the school. I shall go back to the schools broadband provider and see if they can improve the connection in any way. Thanks all for your time and advice
