50% is a high drop rate. Are you using 2.4ghz? Try a different channel. While iwlist may not show anything talking 802.11 on your channel other things not may be one the channel. Baby monitor, bluetooth, wireless security camera, etc could be 'constant transmitters' on the same frequency causing the 50% drop rate which you are seeing. I'm not sure what wifi linux tools can identify constant transmitters.
