Notification Message Quest Wifi Test Deep Link

I am receiving a notification message that reads, "Guest Wifi Test deep link".  Does anyone know what this means?

    Multiple Push Notifications
    20 hours ago

    Earlier today, Orbi App users were sent multiple push notifications about guest WiFi. If you received one of these notifications, you can safely ignore it. The notifications were sent accidentally during an internal test. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Today I received multiple notifications on my phone as shown here. Any idea what is going on? Clicking on the notifications just takes me into the Orbi application Guest Network page, where there is no notification, alert or message about anything wrong. My guest network is set up and working.

    I have the same exact notification--multiples of it. Would love to know what's up.

    I’m also experiencing this, at what would appear to be the exact same time you are.

    I was a bit concerned at first, but given that it seems to be happening to multiple users, perhaps it’s a system wide test? Just a guess….

      I'm getting these messages popping up on my iPhone. Anyone know why these started to appear? I wasn't doing anything unusual ...

        I got the same message today. Happened randomly. Got the same notification every minute using the RBK50.. Maybe its a bug?

    Seeing this also with my CBR750 modem.  Would like to know what's causing this.

    I don't even have a guest network set up and I've been getting them.

    Same here - although I have the guest network disabled entirely.  

    RBR50 on current firmware.  

    Alerts are still occurring.

      Getting it too. Maybe linked to the firmware update yesterday?

    I've gotten 4-5 so far in the mobile app and don't even have Guest Network enabled.

    RBR50 on current firmware also with two satellites.
