## This Week's Coverage

### Models Supported

Product model data not available for this week.

### Problem Categories

| Category | Calls | Avg Score | Focus Area? |
|---|---|---|---|
| HARDWARE | 2 | 2.40 | ✓ |
| CONNECTIVITY | 1 | 1.70 |  |
| GENERAL INQUIRY | 1 | 3.00 |  |
| ACCESS | 1 | 3.00 |  |

**HARDWARE** calls showed the lowest average score (2.40). This pattern suggests a need for more structured troubleshooting and clearer escalation criteria when handling hardware-related issues.

## What Went Well

The agent demonstrated strong accuracy on two calls, reflecting solid product knowledge and effective use of reference materials when the situation allowed:

> **High accuracy on hardware/inquiry calls**  
> *accuracy score 5 on calls [#LTS00130381](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/130381/) and [#PR00130372](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/130372/)*

## Growth Opportunities

### 1. Avoid providing incorrect reset instructions

The agent gave a reset procedure that contradicts Knowledge Base guidance, which can lead to further customer frustration and additional support requests.

> **Incorrect reset instructions provided**  
> *Agent provided incorrect reset procedure (WPS + power button for 5 seconds) for FGHSAX1800 that contradicts KB for AX/Max-Stream models (requires 10-second reset via reset button)*  
> [#LTS00130813](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/130813/)

**What “good” looks like:**  
- Always verify the exact model before giving reset instructions.  
- Follow KB reset steps precisely (e.g., 10-second hold on the dedicated reset button for AX/Max-Stream devices).  
- Confirm the reset actually resolved the issue before closing the call.

### 2. Perform basic troubleshooting before escalating

Several calls were escalated without exhausting basic diagnostic steps, which delays resolution and places unnecessary burden on Level 2 teams.

> **Failure to perform basic troubleshooting**  
> *Agent skipped key troubleshooting steps (power-cycle, LED meaning check, firmware status, power supply check) across multiple calls*  
> [#LTS00130813](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/130813/), [#LTS00130821](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/130821/), [#LTS00131353](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/131353/)

**What “good” looks like:**  
- Run a power cycle and check LED meanings for hardware issues.  
- Verify firmware version and update if needed.  
- Test with a known-good power supply when possible.  
- Only escalate after these steps, and document what was tried.

---

## Next Week's Focus

- **Confirm model and serial number early** in every call to avoid misdirected instructions.  
- **Run a standardized troubleshooting sequence** (power cycle → LED check → firmware check → basic connectivity tests) before considering escalation.  
- **Set clear follow-up expectations** (specific callback windows, case numbers, next steps) to improve customer confidence.  
- **Review KB reset procedures** for AX/Max-Stream and Velop devices to ensure accuracy.

## Technical Accuracy

### **Improvement**
> Agent provided incorrect reset procedure (WPS + power button for 5 seconds) for FGHSAX1800 that contradicts KB for AX/Max-Stream models (requires 10-second reset via reset button)  
> [#LTS00130813](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/130813/)

### **Improvement**
> Agent gave materially wrong reset instructions for MX2000: advised 30-second on/off power cycles, which is not a documented recovery method. Correct procedure is 10-second reset until red LED appears  
> [#LTS00130821](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/130821/)

### **Improvement**
> Agent failed to collect essential product identification (model/serial), did not perform troubleshooting or verify warranty status, provided indefinite callback window  
> [#LTS00130381](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/130381/)

### **Improvement**
> Agent did not verify customer's email address before promising resend, did not set specific follow-up time, did not create HappyFox case or collect product information  
> [#PR00130372](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/130372/)

### **Improvement**
> Agent failed to perform meaningful troubleshooting, did not verify model/login method/admin access, escalated without confirming basic diagnostics (mesh node LED status, app version, firmware)  
> [#LTS00131353](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/131353/)

## Coaching Moments

### **Improvement**
> Regarding the Wi-Fi device you have, I want to ask, if there are often three lights that keep flashing, what does that indicate?  
> 
> **Note:** The agent provided incorrect reset instructions (WPS + power button for 5 seconds) that contradict KB guidance for AX/Max-Stream models. Always verify the exact product model before giving reset steps, and follow KB reset procedures precisely.  
> [#LTS00130813](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/130813/)

### **Improvement**
> I tried to do a hard reset, according to your instructions. The model is MX2000.  
> 
> **Note:** The agent advised incorrect 30-second on/off power cycles for MX2000, which is not a documented recovery method. The correct procedure is a 10-second reset until the red LED appears. Always follow KB reset steps for Velop devices.  
> [#LTS00130821](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/130821/)

## Escalation Lessons: What L2 Did

### [#LTS00131353](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/131353/) — Resolved by Level 2

| **What L1 saw** | **Why it escalated** | **What L2 did** | **Current state** |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customer reported that the Linksys app shows zero devices and zero mesh nodes after reinstalling; unable to view connected device information. | Escalation trigger was not explicit in the available notes. | No explicit Level 2 resolution steps were documented in the local snapshot. | Resolved (per HappyFox final status). |

**L1 learning points:**  
1. **Verify app login method** (email vs router password) and confirm access to the admin interface (myrouter.local).  
2. **Check mesh node LED status** to confirm power and connectivity before assuming a backend issue.  
3. **Collect app version and firmware details** to rule out known bugs or compatibility problems.

## Coach Appendix

*This week’s highest-signal trend is the repeated provision of incorrect reset instructions and insufficient basic troubleshooting before escalation. Focus the next coaching conversation on reinforcing model-specific reset procedures and a structured troubleshooting sequence (power cycle → LED check → firmware check → connectivity tests) to reduce escalations and improve customer outcomes.*
