I recently upgraded to a Wireless-N capable router (Linsys WRT160N) from a Wireless-G model. Everything was fine and dandy with the G, but I needed a stronger signal strength in my living room and dining room. After getting the new router configured and deconflicting the channels, it's finally working great with my Macbook, Galaxy Nexus, and wife's iPhone 4.
The Macbook, however, refuses to reconnect to my network after closing and opening the lid. It connects fine once you select the network from the list of available ones, but it has never done so on its own. I've made sure that my network is at the top of the preferred networks list in the Advanced menu in the Network settings, but that still has no effect.
Am I missing something?

The most common solution to this problem (I encountered numerous times) is to change the WiFi channel on your router.
If your router is set to auto channel you can switch to channel 6 or 11 for example.
And try different channels.
