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.

Same here on Orbi RBR850. Alert shows up on my iPhoe and in Notifications in the Orbi App

I also got a message that a suspicious connection on Brother printer blocked.
Here's a screen shot of the notification center in my Orbi app...

I'm receiving the same notifications as well. Double checked and the guest network is off, and the logs show anything odd .. but clearly something is wrong.

I updated the firmware and haven't received anything in 20 minutes. So appears to have addressed whatever was going on.
Hello,
i wanted to leverage this community for help. I can’t seem to find a way to open up a support case with Netgear even if I agree to pay for it! I stared to receive a message this morning: Guest WiFi PN, Guest WiFi Test deep link. I have NEVER seen this message nor can I find anyone, on any threads that has written about this very cryptic message. The message kept popping up soooo…I disabled my guest function on my router. I am thinking someone was pinging my guest connection. Anyone have any ideas????
Thanks!

- Atomic99AspirantHello,
I am having the same Notification (x3) over a 30 minute period. Notifications now ceased.
I had/have Guest Wifi disabled
The Router and Satellites seem to be operating correctly
Also waiting it out

Orbi app gave me the same message "Guest WiFi PN Guest Wifi Test deep link" five times today (July 7, 2023) from 12:42 pm to 1:03 pm U.S. eastern time. Never got any messages from the Orbi app before.

Yes I'm getting the same message, I have no idea where it comes from but it's happening repeatedly in the last day or so.
If someone from netgear can just verify that this is legitimate then that would be great, why do I have to assume it's a likely bad actor.
cheers,
