Galaxy Note cannote detect wireless router

Got a very weird problem here.

My Galaxy Note CANNOT my home wireless router. Nothing strange about that on its own except that:-

It CAN detect all the SSIDs from my neighbours' routers in my apt block as well as Wi-Fi spots around town. My own SSID doesn't show up in the list of Wi-Fi networks under the settings menu.

ALL my other devices (laptops and desktops, my wife's Wi-Fi enabled phone) CAN detect the SSID and connect to the router. If I try to add the SSID manually using the "Add Wi-Fi network" option, I just get the message "Out of Range".

Can anyone suggest what could be causing this?

I had a similar problem with a Samsung Galaxy Ace I bought for my son. I had to log on to my Netgear router and change the security to "WPA-PSK [TKIP]" and then it worked.

are you broadcasting? (is your wifi visible?)

Mine did this one evening then seemed to rectify itself. At all other times it had been fine. The only difference between mine and others I have never had an issue with is that I recently went over to wireless N.
