Network scanning attack from 192.168.2.2

Hi, apologies if this is a dumb question. I keep getting Netgear Armor blocked a scanning attack messages on my Mac. They have the IP 192.168.2.2 listed for he attack. However, all of my devices are on the 192.168.1.x subnet. I do not have a 192.168.2.x subnet set up. What is this supposed to mean, is someone genuinely accessing the network/trying to hack into one of my devices or is this some kind of glitch in Armor functionality? Thanks!

      It could also be the backhaul connection that is causing it. You can create it either wiressly (by default) or ethernet (you need to do it yourself).

        Back haul connection is between router and satellite? This error is coming from my laptop.
