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.

RBR40 and 2 satellites: Same thing for me as well. I have gotten a bunch of notifications this morning about deep link on guest wifi. Was very concerned until I saw everyone else having the same thing. Hope it stops shortly.

FYI, NETGEAR app team has this under review now. Hopefully resolved soon.

 

Let us know if you keep seeing these messages throughout today.

    I just hope that this isn’t some form of a phishing attack to get us to click the Orbi app and harvest our username and password.

    Thanks FURRYe38 . I haven't been here for a while, nice to see that you're still here active as ever. I've received the same notifications this morning.
