V2 Grader Summary

The agent correctly identified the RE6200 as end-of-support and recommended the RE7350, but failed to perform required best-effort troubleshooting (e.g., factory reset) for an out-of-warranty device, leaving the issue unresolved. Communication and ownership were strong, with no critical failures triggering auto-zero.

V1 Case Analysis

Customer's RE6200 extender failed after power outage with no LED. Agent confirmed end-of-support status, recommended RE7350 replacement, and directed to support.linksys.com. Incorrectly stated all range extenders are discontinued. Serial number not collected.

Troubleshooting Steps
  • Customer performed power cycle and reset of extender (no lights)
  • Agent verified end-of-support status of RE6200
  • Agent recommended RE7350 replacement and directed to support.linksys.com
Key Observations
  • Agent correctly identified RE6200 as end-of-support and applied appropriate closure path
  • Agent inaccurately stated 'almost all range extenders are no longer supported' - contradicts KB documentation confirming RE7350 support
  • Serial number was not collected despite IVR prompt and relevance to support eligibility
  • Agent directed customer to valid self-help resources (support.linksys.com) for mesh systems
Positive Highlights
  • Correctly identified RE6200 as end-of-support and applied proper closure policy
  • Provided specific, valid replacement model (RE7350) from current product line
  • Directed customer to official support resources for mesh system information
  • Maintained efficient call flow with no unnecessary loops
Agent Errors / Gaps
  • Incorrectly claimed 'almost all range extenders are no longer supported' - RE7350 and other models remain supported per KB
  • Failed to collect serial number despite IVR prompt and relevance to warranty/support eligibility
  • Did not confirm customer's email would be used to deliver manual guides

welcome to Linksys support to ensure quality service your call may be monitored certain products will be supported while end of support products will have self help options available please have your serial number ready and stay on the line for assistance while waiting you may also visit support.linksys.com for more information about your product
00:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, hi. My name is Joe, Joe Jernet. Hey, we've had Link's products since we moved into our home here. And I have a little problem with an extender. And maybe you can give me some information regarding my Link's extender. You need to look at my account. I don't know, what do you need to look at my account? Jeanette, yes. Huh? Yes. Al. Right, correct. Al.com, correct. Yeah. I, okay, here's my issue. We have rain cameras, exterior, three different
03:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Hi, I'm calling Linksys. My name is Ben and we'll help you today. Mhm. Just to confirm, correct? Just to confirm, my speaking with Joseph Jennette. Okay. And the email address, just to confirm, is .A Olga.com. Alright. Why I mentioned that you have some troubles with the extender. What seems to be the trouble? Is it currently disconnected?
03:00
Speaker 1
Areas. And for some reason, my side camera over our garage, uh, it it indicates it's not capturing video and there is a problem with my my chime Pro. And it says extender does not uh let's see. It wer- the extender does not uh appear to be operating. I checked it out. We we put an extender in that room because it's over our garage. Uh this is based on uh one of your colleagues uh maybe a year or two ago. And uh so consequently, uh he sent me the links extender, the RRE6200 and that has been working. Unfortunately, we had a power outage uh a few days ago and that's when the problem uh identified. So consequently, and the reason why we have that in case and I'm obviously during the night, you want that camera to continue to record and there extender in there is because there are several walls that exist between the extender oh, I'm sorry, or the ring camera and our you know the what I'm trying to say the key area where the information comes initiatives um and so consequently because our house is it's it's about 5,000 square feet and so consequently we needed that extender, so now I checked the extender and I don't see a light or anything, appears to be not operating at all I reseted it a couple of times, nothing happens, so maybe the extender is gone bad or whatever and so now I guess I'm trying to determine what would my next step be uh do I get a new extender or what? Right, right, right, right. And I plugged it, I unplugged it to try to reboot it, and I plugged it back in. It does get overly warm. Maybe to some degree, it gets hot. And I did the reset button and checked it several times to no avail. And there's no light appears or anything. So maybe I I think that is my problem right now. That's why the camera, main camera is not, um, you know, receiving it or whatever.
04:00
Speaker 2
when you mentioned that the range extender isn't working anymore, as of the current moment there's no light showing on it?
06:00
Speaker 1
in saying end of support i'm that what do you mean by that now okay uh your accent is a little bit strong i think i i understand what you just said uh so in other words you do not uh
07:00
Speaker 2
It is in this case the best that you can try is try unplugging it from its current location and plug it in somewhere in the house to see if it still turns on. If it no longer turns on that's already a sign that you might need to consider getting a new range extender instead. However for the current for the current range extender that you have I'll set your expectations it's no longer being supported by Linksys since the device has already been declared as an end of support. An end of support model is no longer being assisted supported or being upgraded in terms of its firmware or any security measures.
07:00
Speaker 1
this particular extender any longer. Is that clear? Is that what you're saying? Okay. Okay. Uh... Uh... Uh, okay, okay. Now, you just mentioned about unplugging, which I have it in my hand. I have not tried it another location. That's a very good point. Let me let me try that while I'm on the other line here. Let's see here. Uh I just plugged it in uh a different wall downstairs here where I'm located. I'm not upstairs where that extender initially located. Nothing happens. So, I I think also because it did appear to be very hot when I unplugged yesterday or the day before. Um, I I I felt something was was troubling with it. And so that's why
08:00
Speaker 2
Yes, we no longer troubleshoot, or tried to fixed this certain model.
08:00
Speaker 1
[silence] why, uh, and I plugged it back in the same area, but nothing happened, no light, like I said, I reset it, no lights or what have you. So, that's why I was calling. Now, I guess, so, uh, based on your assessment that you no longer supporting this type of extender, is there another one that perhaps, uh, would could suit my needs?
09:00
Speaker 2
mmm. Now as to your expectations as of the moment almost all of our range extenders are no longer being supported by lignin. So the best that you can do or the best that we can also offer is some manual guides through your email. Yes, you can still use some range extenders, but we no longer assist them through the phone. If you're considering replacing it with a similar model, you can consider looking into an RE7350.
09:00
Speaker 1
Well wait a minute, wait a minute. Let me write that down. Okay, let me just see here. Uh $7,350. That's a link? Okay, okay. Now, uh where would I find that at? Uh by Amazon? Okay. Okay. Okay. Oh okay, okay. So, all right. So that would be comparable then you're saying? Okay. Okay. Yeah, well, I-- can I ask what-- why is that? I-- I've been with you guys for several years. What-- why-- why you no longer-- uh-- [silence]
10:00
Speaker 2
Sorry, Linksys, RE7350. Yes, that's a Linksys. You can look into Amazon for online stores, or local stores as well, like Walmart or through Best Buy. Yes, but once again, please do take note that we no longer support the Range Extender model. Range extenders are already considered as an outdated product. So,
10:00
Speaker 1
Oh, uh-huh, MESH, okay, what, what kind of system is that now again? MESH? MESH system, okay. I like- I'm gonna do some homework on that, uh, S-Y-T. Now, how, how would that MESH system, how would that work with my current, uh, uh node, the Lynx node? I'm, I'm sorry, say it again. I don't know. I, I, matter of fact, I, I hate to, I'm sorry, uh, you have to, you have to apologize for my, my terminology and also my naivety as, as it relates to
11:00
Speaker 2
I'm sorry, You already have a mesh system on your own? You have a mesh system already?
11:00
Speaker 1
you know the Internet system if you will. I don't know if I have a mesh system or not. What I do have is three uh linked node uh I guess there's a houses large enough where we need one on each level. We have three levels and so consequently I don't know if it's a mesh system. I'm not to him with the mesh system. Okay, yeah, I will. I'm I'm going to do the uh the RE7350 and like you just uh I will purchase one or shall I find one of those and uh and then I guess also what I would like to do is uh is to read up [KEEP_UNCERTAIN] or become more familiar with the next system. Not that I, I will entertain it, right away, but I, something maybe, down the road in the future, something that we need to consider. So, uh, I wanna make sure that. So, does does does links have a a, uh, a, um, a home study that deal? I think I can become very familiar with the next system. Okay. Okay. Uh, just support.com. Okay, all right, very well. Okay, now, like, again, my last question. Will the next system, uh, would that, uh, uh, [silence]
12:00
Speaker 2
yes it's always available on you can try searching for it on Linksys.com since it always shows you the current available mesh system if you want an in-depth guide for it you can also view it on support.Linksys.com
13:00
Speaker 1
support my, my link node span class, okay? All right, very well. All right. Okay. All right. uh, okay. You, you have been very helpful. Uh I appreciate the verification and update. And right now, I just to, uh summarize, I will pursue the, uh the extender 7350 and see if that will, uh support, you know, the one that needs to be replaced. And also I will review, uh the mesh system and see exactly uh what that would suit my needs or not. So, okay, very well. So I can call I at some point, uh once I'm ready to go to the next level, I can call you guys back and talk about the mesh system then.
14:00
Speaker 2
Yes. If you have one already working Linksys nodes, as well, if you can reconfirm it, and if you also do consider getting a new mesh system, we can double check it as well.
14:00
Speaker 1
All right. Okay. Very well. Alrighty. Thank you very much again for your help. Appreciate it. Okay. Alrighty. Okay. Okay. You too. Alright. Goodbye.
15:00
Speaker 2
Yes, no worries there. If you want to double check what your current note is and you want to consider upgrading, go ahead and call us back so we can reconfirm everything. All right, thank you so much for calling. Take care. And have a great day.
