Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/issues/1300

I'm trying to set a hostname, but it doesn't work. I still have esp32-987C40 on my wifi despite CTRL + F5.
What am I doing wrong?

wm.setHostname("WifiName");

ESP32 core 2.0.0
Version wifimanager: 2.0.4

I want to have my own hostname, ie "WifiName", but the hostname cannot be set, wifimanager ignores the settings and if I look in the router, the name remains the same, ie esp32-987C40

I mean there is like 3 hostnames, wifi, softap, mdns, what exactly are you looking at?

Perhaps you are not calling autoconnect, either way mine works fine..

WiFiManager wm;
std::vector<const char *> menu = {"wifi","exit"}; // menu wifimanager 

   //wm.setCountry("US"); 
    wm.setHostname("WifiTest");
    wm.setConnectTimeout(60);
    wm.setTimeout(120);
    wm.setConfigPortalTimeout(120);
    wm.setMenu(menu);
    wm.setClass("invert"); // dark theme
    wm.setScanDispPerc(true); // display percentages instead of graphs for RSSI
    wm.setAPCallback(configModeCallback); // callbacks
    wm.setSaveConfigCallback(saveWifiCallback); // callbacks
    wm.setSaveParamsCallback(saveParamCallback); // callbacks
    wm.setBreakAfterConfig(true); // callbacks Wifi

    bool res;
    res = wm.autoConnect(ssid, password); // defaultni pripojeni do wifimanager ssid, password
    delay(300);
    Serial.println("--------------------------------------------");

And on my router is name esp32-987C40 and I wanted to WifiTest (setHostname)

Interesting, perhaps its holding onto an old name? Can you ping the new hostname?
