Remote devices has advertised your public key

Remote device Cleric Repeater has advertised your public key. This may indicate a low-entropy key. You may need to regenerate your public keys.
What should I do?
update the firmware to 2.6.11 by doing a wipe/update.
I already upgraded to this version, days ago, but I didn’t wipe the device. I will do tonight. Thanks.
That can also happen if you change the name of your device. It will still be advertising a key that other radios recognize from earlier, but with the wrong name.
But you should definitely update your firmware, as meh suggested. All versions from 2.6.11 on can recognize and warn you about potentially compromised keys.
I’m using the same name all the time….and it’s a unique link, so I don’t think this is the case.
It sounds like you may actually have a compromised key. There are going to be a fair number of those around, because of the "bug" (really more of an oversight) in the pre-2.6.11 firmware. I had to get new keys on one of my radios too. Just make sure you're running 2.6.11 or later before you generate new keys.
