So I'm looking for a decent wireless router. Mine keeps dropping the connection and sometimes isn't even visible on available networks.

Price less than 25$

Help me out if you can, thanks :-)

It's supposed to help if you change to a frequency/channel that isn't being used in your area. Try changing that before you give up on your current router.

Also if your connectivity is really low maybe try making sure the router is close enough to your computer. One easy way might be to just turn up the power and extend the range of the signal.

Finally upgrade your firmware manually. I had a Netgear router that would constantly fail. It took about 2 years for me to realize that the autoupdater was downloading the -wrong- firmware for another similar but different model! It's been working swimmingly ever since.
