Are there specific areas where drops are happening? Can you see any particular pattern? There could be many reasons here.

Most handheld computers have weaker Tx power relative to business-grade PCMCIA cards to save battery life. ...the kind often surveyed with to design the network. Perhaps you're uplink limited. i.e. if you see decent signal strength on the handheld it doesn't mean the AP can hear you equally as well.

Do you have any WLAN tools get get an 802.11 frame capture? Even though data traffic is encrypted the management frames will still be visible and you'll probably see something revealing.

Frankly, there could be many reasons why this is happening.

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.
-Darren

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
