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.

yep same here - is it an intrusion alert? someone trying to gain access?
- This very much appears to have been an erroneous message by Netgear, as I actually turned my Orbi devices off about two weeks ago and still got these notifications today.
If not an error in their part, then possibly their systems were compromised, which could be troubling in terms of customer personal information. It would be good to get an update from Netgear, given this happened several hours ago now. Same here.
Almost certainly the iOS App developer having to update the App Push Notifications certificate. And accidentally sending notifications to everyone on production lol. It's easily done, they could have entered a slightly better test message that didn't refer to Guest Wifi!
@@Netgear needs to let us know if this is a hack or a developer issue.
- I'm getting same as you, beginning roughly the same time.
- Same issue today...
Netgear please explain.Same here. The "please be patient" crew can continue being patient... but customer service 0 out of 10.
Netgear needs to admit to some sort of event you are looking into and advise your customers disconnect or you say the incident is a known internal change control issue and commit to better controls in the future. If you don't know you have serious issues and/or no internal change controls.
Yawn, same, same here.
Hardware Version RBR850 Firmware Version V4.6.14.3_2.3.12 GUI Language Version V3.0.1.54_2.1.30.3 Operation Mode Router
Same issue, RBK850 (RBR850), Android App Version 2.27.1.3003
(Prior to these messages the firmware was already at the latest version, v4.6.14.3.)
- Same here, RBR350 with Android apps
- Same issue here. Really hoping netgear can let us know what caused this.
I too got this message yesterday (Fri 7th) evenng.
Got 5 of them in short succession.
Nothing came up on Google yesterday when I looked, but see this thread now.
I turned off the Guest network on the App (Android), and then the App crashed.
App won't open now. I get the Orbi splash screen for 2 seconds and then it closes.
I've disabled the Guest network from the PC web browser.
- Hi ,

Thx
