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.

I am getting these constantly as well. It is quite annoying. As a software engineer, I'm guessing someone is testing a software change accidentally using the production notification service.

 

To keep it from happening, you can turn off notifications for the app until they stop testing.

Interesting, though, my entire wifi network went down after getting these. Anyone else seen this? I turned everything off, may try later to turn back on.
