I have TimeMachine (TM) running. On my mobile's WiFi connections this TM is listed with a clear signal but I cannot connect the mobile phone even after entering TM's password.

There are two messages: Either "Remembered. Secured with WAP/WPA2 PSK" or "Not in Range. Secured with WAP/WPA2 PSK"

Is there anything I can do?

Are you talking about a Time Capsule?

Because TimeMachine is a piece of software on your Mac that can create a backup of your hard drive.

What type of Wifi does your older model samsung phone support? How is your Time Capsule Wifi Setup? Does it allow B/G/N? Is your Samsung so old that it uses B and your time capsule isn't set for b? Also is MAC filtering turned on?
