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 agoEarlier 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.
I have received a couple of notices from my Orbi CBR40 system with the title “ Guest Wi-Fi deep link test”. Does anyone know what this is? My ability to connect to my system isn’t working because I’m away from home today.
Started getting these messages at 12:45 EDT. Hope someone responds soon. It's weird.
I am getting that same notification repeatedly. I also can’t log in from my Orbi app. I have gotten multiple errors: no internet connection (false), session timed out, etc. Reset my password and still can’t get in. Something is clearly going on on their end.
I've also been getting this deep link test notification repeatedly (3x) today! What is it?!
FWIW, I got the same thing twice, and 1) I don't even have an Orbi product that works with the Orbi app (I thought mine did, so I downloaded it a long time ago). and 2) I don't have guest wifi turned on on my Orbi.
So I'm guessing it is someone at Netgear that made a mistake when testing something ("Oh, I'm in PROD?"). But it is concerning nonetheless.
