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.
Attached a screenshot of what's on my phone.
Just got spammed with notifications from my router. First time it happens and it seems very weird. Security issue?
The notification subject is "Guest Wifi PN" and the message is "Guest Wifi test deep link".
Why did I get spammed with these notifications? I'm the only admin in my home, and I didn't touch the router interface for weeks.
- Came here to find an answer to the same question
I came here for the same notifications. Got 3 of them about 15 minutes ago, and a 4th about 5 minutes ago.
Shut down my guest wifi thinking something was going on. Don't see any other activity on the devices, devices themselves look normal and have MFA setup so no one else attempted login to the admin page.
Seems like Netgear is doing something.
Greetings. I experienced the same thing most everyone else has this morning. Using an Orbi RBR750 and version 2.271.79 of the Orbi mobile app. Hopefully it's just a broadcast push notification erroneously sent from Netgear testing.
Thanks for any light that can be shed.

My guess is someone on their Orbi app team is testing in production and they don't know it.
I'm gonna file a support ticket or something to try and get something their way.
Also got a bunch of pings.
- Just got kicked out of my orbi admin account and it said I had too many login attempts and can try to login again after 30 minutes…
