Configuration issue detected on ZTE N985

So i keep getting this push notification on my phone. A few things that concern me... I dont own any zte devices and neither does my significant other. Also when i try to find the device or anything on it there is no device in the device history on my router.  What can i do to solve this problem and can a device with configuration be intentionally set this way to exploit?

        are you able to open it and check the IP address for the notice? 

        To compare to the other devices on your network? It wouldn't be the first time something was mis-identified on those. 

        I've got a IoT device that ID's as a storage device.

    What tells you that this has anything to do with your unknown Netgear hardware on your unknown phone?
