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.

Hi. I've used the RBR50 for several years now - works great. But today, for the first time, I started receiving a notification on my phone that I don't understand. The notification title is "Guest Wifi PN" and the text below that reads "Guest Wifi Test deep link". It seemed to be a legit notification on my phone, so I clicked on it and it asked me to login to the app. I began to wonder if this was a phishing attempt, so I did not log in. I tried searching online for what this message means and found no search results. So, I thought I'd try here - is anyone aware of what this message means? Is someone trying to use my wifi? Is it a NetGear test? Do I need to take any further precautions or can I disregard it? Any help or insights related to this would be appreciated - thank you.
