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

    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.

Same here. 6 notifications of "Guest Wifi PN" - "Guest Wifi Test deep link" and my guest wifi is set of OFF. 
Notifications were 1 minute apart and when I tried to sign in to verify Guest Wifi was off (it was), I was repeatedly met with Time Outs and login issues. 

Hope this was Netgear servicing the app or website and not something more concerning.
