Android phone not auto-connecting to home wireless

I'm have a problem with my phone running Android 4.1 (galaxy s3 mini). It doesn't autoconnect to the wireless at home, it just shows as saved/secured in the menu. There is no problem about connecting to it at all, I just have to tell it to connect everytime, and it doesn't ask for the password etc.

I have played with my router settings, selected a static wireless channel etc and noticed my phone will only autoconnect when I select wireless mixed G/N on my router even though my phone will connect and work on wireless N only mode.

Does anyone know why this would be?

Hi thanks all for your help so far, I have a Buffalo WHR-GP-GN running the DD-WRT software (just upgraded to latest build to see if that did anything).

I have testing my Dad's phone which is an S3 running Android 4.1.2, my S3 Mini is running 4.1.1. His auto-connects just fine, mine doesn't.

It's abit annoying really, if I use wireless NG mode it's ok, but this will make my wireless run slower?

Yea thanks for your advice I've just done that, with wireless networking and me nothing ever seems to work seamlessly!

Checked all the saved wireless SSID's on my phone and no it isn't, it's really stupid I don't get why it picks my wireless up but doesn't autoconnect! :S
