So I picked myself up a shiny new Arduino WiFi Rev2 and updated the firmware to the latest 1.2.8.

Trying out some simple sketches. I'd like to set the hostname for my sketch so I use the example:

WiFi.setHostname(“MyArduino”); // attempt to connect to Wifi network: while (status != WL_CONNECTED) { Serial.print("Attempting to connect to SSID: "); Serial.println(ssid); // Connect to WPA/WPA2 network. Change this line if using open or WEP network: status = WiFi.begin(ssid, pass); // wait 10 seconds for connection: delay(10000); }

Of course, the hostname as reported by the router never changes, it's aways "arduino-abcd" with the abcd being the MAC. That's not a deal breaker, but it looks like Arduino has had some problems with this for a while. Anyone use these and get this to work?

edit: Don't suggest I use ESP stuff instead. Those have serious issues with RF noise, and they're not good for my applications.
