title: ESP8266 Arduino Hostname (MDNS)
body: <p>I am having problems with the hostname of my ESP8266. I am using the MDNSResponder and I can successfully access my device with mydevice.local</p>
  
  <p>However, my WiFi router (Netgear WGR614) list the device as ESP_FEA38A. When I use 'Angry IP Scanner' on my mac, there is no hostname listed. Both, the ip scanner and the WiFi router both recognize several raspberrys and other devices like airport express.</p>
  
  <p>Does anybody know what other host naming mechanisms are being used and how I can get my ESP8266 device getting listed with hostname?</p>
