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.

Received 5 of the "Guest WiFi PN Guest-Wifi Test deep link" notifications starting at 9:40 am PDT.
Router: RBR50
Satellite: RBS50
Firmware: v2.7.4.24
Orbi app version: 2.27.1.3003 running on Android version 13
Guest Wifi: Disabled
Anywhere Access: Disabled.
FYI, NETGEAR app team has this under review. Hopefully resolved soon.
Let us know if you keep seeing these messages throughout today.
- It’s not reassuring NG support doesn’t seen to know, or hasn’t yet been able to yet find out, what’s going on with the notifications.
RBR750 w/WPA3 guest network enabled. Recently got a series of alert messages for "deep link test". Searched the support site for a list of messages (and their meanings) and came up empty. Can someone post a link to this content, or post the list of messages and their meanings? Would be much appreciated.
Same messages (4) from my Orbi app for our RBR50 device.
Today notifications began to arrive with the message "Orbi guest wifi test deep link notification"
I have a system RBK53 firmware v2.7.4.24 the phone is an Android version 10 of the brand Xiaomi model Mi Mix 3Same issue; along same timeframe - "Guest Wifi PN - Guest WiFi Test deep link"
- Happened to me too. Commenting so I see a reply when the app team posts an update.
same notification with my RBK53 system
Today I've received on my Orbi app these five notifications: "Guest WiFi PN Guest WiFi Test deep link." I've never rec'd this notification before and don't understand it. There's also a box "Unable to Connect to Router." My devices are connected to the Orbi router, so I don't know what is "unable to connect to router." Also, the Guest WiFi setting is off; I don't recall ever using the guest wifi nor do I have a guest wifi password. (This situation may be completely unrelated, but recently, I've notice that when I return home, my smart phone often does not automatically reconnect to the Orbi router. It's staying connected to a random Xfinity connection (my Internet provider), even though the Orbi router is has a much better signal. I have to manually connect the phone to the Orbi router. Again, this is new problem.) Thank you for your assistance in diagnosing this problem. Gregg
- The same problem occurs here. Clicked on the push message and was directed to the guest network menu in the app.
Orbi-System: RBR20
Phone-Os: IOS 16.5.1
App-Version: 2.27.1.79 Just spoke with support - They indicated it was a test of the Orbi App notification system and was in error, but that should all be resolved now. Had them run a systems and security check - all seemed well. They suggested I reach back out if anything else odd happen, but they advised this was not a phish or malicious attack.
Been receiving the "Guest WiFI Test Deep Link" (5x) the past hour. On the message log, you can see the message occurrence (in addition to the phone notification). Following this thread for response
Received multiple Alerts around 1:30 PM ET with title "Guest WiFi PN" or "Guest WiFi Test deep link" (I have used the same upper and lower case letters used in the Notification).
