Finding the Right Video
Which E-Lins products have video tutorials?
+
Quick-start tutorials for the H900t and H820 series are available now, and new titles are added every month. The library is organized by task — installation, configuration, firmware, troubleshooting, and advanced how-to guides — so you can jump straight to what you need.
How do I find a tutorial for my specific router model?
+
Browse the five sections above — each card lists the model and topic it covers. For a specific model, start with Installation & Setup and Configuration & Operation, where most model-specific guides live.
Can I request a tutorial that doesn't exist yet?
+
Yes. Submit a ticket with your model and topic — popular requests are prioritized in our monthly video production plan.
Watching & Access
Are the tutorials available in languages other than English?
+
Videos are narrated in English with YouTube closed captions (cc). Subtitled versions in more languages are planned, and the E-Lins website itself is available in 13 languages.
The video won't play on my company network. What should I do?
+
Tutorials stream from YouTube. If your firewall blocks it, ask your IT team to allow youtube.com and youtube-nocookie.com — or follow the step-by-step written guides in the E-Lins wiki instead.
Can I download tutorials for offline training?
+
Online streaming is the standard, but offline training packages can be arranged for partners and integrators — contact your account manager or submit a support ticket.
Content & Accuracy
Do video tutorials replace the user manual?
+
No — they complement each other. Videos are the fastest way to get started, while the user manual and wiki carry the complete specifications, CLI references, and default values.
How up to date are the tutorials?
+
Each tutorial is reviewed and re-recorded when the related firmware changes significantly. Check the Firmware & Device Management section for the latest update workflows.
