Attempted log in to my Orbi 10 network

I think this is the first time I have experienced this but yesterday someone attempted access to my networkvia wifi using a Samsun Note3 or at least that was the message displayed on my TV.  I suppose it was the TV they noticed on in their browsing but the TV sits behind the Orbi firewall or the NAT which should not be viewable to someone around or close to my house.  Are there other measures that are particular to Orbi that I need to take to prevent devices inside my house being view by others?

Thanks

    Would like to hear more about messages being displayed on a TV.  Did this message contain any useful details, such as the IP address of this mystery Samsung?  If the device actually did connect to the Orbi, then the Orbi log file should contain an entry of when it was assigned an IP address.
