V2 Grader Summary

The agent performed several troubleshooting actions (ping test, factory reset) but never confirmed that the Wi‑Fi dropping issue was resolved, leaving the problem open. While appropriate tools were used, some instructions were inaccurate (5‑press reset) and key diagnostics were omitted, resulting in a partial but incomplete resolution.

V1 Case Analysis

Customer reports intermittent Wi-Fi dropouts; agent failed to obtain model number, incorrectly instructed 5-press reset (not factory reset), provided invalid support email (customersupports@links.com), and did not verify fix. Call ended with unverified advice to contact ISP.

Troubleshooting Steps
  • Guided customer to access router UI at 192.168.1.1
  • Ran ping tests to google.com and 8.8.8.8
  • Incorrectly instructed 5-press reset procedure (pairing method, not factory reset)
Key Observations
  • Agent never obtained the router model number, which is critical for accurate troubleshooting.
  • Agent incorrectly used the 5-press pairing method as a factory reset, which is technically wrong and ineffective for resolving connectivity issues.
  • Agent provided an invalid support email (customersupports@links.com), which is not a Linksys domain.
  • No verification of the problem or fix was performed; call ended with vague advice to contact ISP without proper isolation.
  • Agent misinterpreted LED behavior: solid purple indicates setup mode, not a fault requiring reset.
Positive Highlights
  • Agent captured the customer's name, serial number, and email correctly.
  • Agent attempted to run diagnostic ping tests to assess connectivity.
Agent Errors / Gaps
  • Failed to capture product model number despite multiple opportunities.
  • Provided incorrect factory reset procedure: instructed 5-press pairing instead of proper 10-second reset.
  • Gave an invalid support email address (customersupports@links.com).
  • Did not verify whether the issue was resolved after reset.
  • Misinterpreted LED states: instructed reset on a solid purple light, which indicates setup mode, not a fault.
  • Failed to escalate or provide any self-help resources (KB articles, links).
  • Gave misleading advice that the issue was likely with the ISP without proper upstream isolation.

V2 Indicator Ratings

Resolution
R1 Not Met Issue actually resolved conf 95%
Agent never confirmed that the Wi‑Fi dropping issue was fixed; final recommendation was to observe and contact the ISP.
R2 Partially Met Diagnostic thoroughness conf 85%
Agent performed power‑cycle, ping tests, and a factory reset, but skipped key steps such as checking WAN LED, modem status, Ethernet test, and Wi‑Fi channel settings.
R3 Partially Met Correct resolution path conf 80%
Agent suggested a factory reset and then to contact the ISP, which is a reasonable path, but did not verify warranty status or fully explore router‑side causes.
Technical Accuracy
T1 Partially Met Technically accurate info conf 85%
Agent identified symptoms (Wi‑Fi turning off, blue LED) and asked for model/ISP, but did not ask detailed diagnostic questions (e.g., wired test, time of day, other devices).
T2 Met Appropriate tools / resources used conf 90%
Agent used the router’s web UI, ran ping diagnostics, and requested router‑info email – appropriate tools for this scenario.
T3 Not Met No misinformation conf 95%
Agent instructed customer to 'press reset button five times' to set up router, which is incorrect: 5-press is for pairing mesh nodes, not factory reset or setup; this is a materially wrong instruction per KB guidance.
Communication
C1 Partially Met Clear & professional language conf 80%
Agent kept the call moving but there were long silences, repeated clarification, and occasional loss of direction (e.g., unclear LED color discussion).
C2 Partially Met Confirmed understanding conf 75%
Agent used basic language but did not consistently check the customer’s understanding or simplify terminology when the customer seemed confused.
Customer Ownership
O1 Met Ownership & empathy conf 95%
Agent stayed on the call, did not transfer, and took responsibility for troubleshooting and next‑step advice.
O2 Partially Met Proactive follow-through conf 80%
Agent gave next steps (factory reset, observe, call ISP) but did not set a concrete timeline or follow‑up commitment.
O3 Not Applicable Closure confirmation conf 100%
This was the first recorded interaction; no prior case history to maintain continuity.
Escalation Judgment
E1 Not Applicable Correct escalation decision conf 100%
No escalation was performed and none was clearly warranted given the troubleshooting performed.
E2 Not Applicable Escalation prep & handoff conf 100%
No escalation occurred, so execution cannot be assessed.
Customer Experience
X1 Partially Met Customer effort minimised conf 75%
Agent thanked the customer and used polite language, but did not explicitly acknowledge frustration or repeat empathy statements.
X2 Partially Met Tone & rapport conf 75%
Agent maintained a steady tone but did not noticeably adapt pace or style to the customer’s confusion.
X3 Partially Met Overall experience conf 80%
Customer was asked to repeat information (email address, ping commands) and to perform a factory reset, adding effort; however, some steps (reset) were necessary.

Speaker 2
Speaker 0: Okay. Okay, Sir? Just to make sure: the one that you have input is customersupports@links.com.
13:00
Speaker 1
that's happening all over the house. Even when I'm right next to the router, it's still happening. The Wi-Fi keeps turning off and on.
16:00
Speaker 2
And, uh, by the way, Sir Malik, while I am waiting for that one. Let me just also clarify something since you only have one node or one Lynksys router. So, when the issue actually happens, sir, like is this only happening on a specific location inside your house or are you experiencing the issue, uh, like, you know, in other rooms and? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, thank you so much, sir, I just actually receive the uh, the information that I was actually asking earlier. So, just give me one second. Yeah, so let me just go ahead and I will check this, um, logs that you actually provided to us. Just give me one uh, one moments. Okay, so I'll be saving this one and [silence] Oh Give me one moment, sir, okay? Because I'm actually pulling up some more my resource. process. So that we can move forward after I actually checked uh this router information that you just actually forwarded to us, okay? Thank you so much. Mhm. [silence] How do you do? [silence] How do you do? Okay. Okay. So, uh, Sir Malik, yeah, thank you so much, by the way, for, um, giving me enough time to double check everything here and just to make sure that like, you know, we are following the right troubleshooting steps, uh, you know, regarding with this, uh, problem that you were actually encountering right now. So, uh, when the internet actually drops, sir, and since you mentioned earlier that, uh, the router actually uh, turned on, I mean, turned off itself. So, uh, when you actually notice, or if you happen to notice it, sir. Did the LED light of the router blinking? Or it just easily turned off itself and then on. [silence] [music] Okay, so, uh, Sir Malik,
16:00
Speaker 1
when it wasn't working or right now?
23:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Right now, it was working fine. Mm, okay, thank you so much. Flashing red. Then yellow. So okay, so uh, sir, you are still at the web user interface of uh your linksys router, right? Okay. So you're still under diagnostics? [silence]
23:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, I'm doing diagnostics. Got it. The IP or host name? Oh, yeah. Okay, cool. [silence] So it's 100. seven, zero, dot two, zero, three, dot four, four.
24:00
Speaker 2
okay sir and you will see there the ping IPv4 ok so sir can you like uh type and can you see there the internet address let's on the right side all right um no the under the share router info with lnks st there is an information that says internet address and then yeah there is a number right after the IPv4 information can you give me the IPv4 numbers sir OK thank you so much [silence]
24:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, I see that, yeah. Type into the IP or hostname, you what you just said? What was there? Again. Okay. Yeah, I know but to ping is five. Yeah, done. Okay, just take to
25:00
Speaker 2
Now on the left side of that one, you can see the ping IPv4, right? Okay. Now, you can actually type in some information on the box there. So, can you type in Google.com? Yeah. Yes, on that one. Just Google.com or youtube.com. Okay. Yeah. Can you change it, sir? Make it unlimited. Yeah, and then just please go ahead and tap on start to pink.
25:00
Speaker 1
Okay. They're showing the things on the side, the time and stuff. Okay.
26:00
Speaker 2
so, uh, just let, uh, just let it run, sir. And then, let me know if you can see any request time-out information, okay? [silence] okay, so, uh, and then, um, while waiting for that one, sir, uh, let me just also check the firmware, uh, your router is uh, currently, um, carrying right now, okay? [silence]
26:00
Speaker 1
Just spare me a second. [silence]
28:00
Speaker 2
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] and uh... by the way Sir Malik just to confirm if you can just give me an estimation like um... how big or can you tell me the area or the are estimated uh... area of your house or like how many square foot [silence]
28:00
Speaker 1
About 656. Uh, yeah.
29:00
Speaker 2
like 606 squareity okay give me one mom. Yeah
29:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, but my phone next to it while I was testing it, no, there was the same issue. Yeah, um either close to the router, passed about, yeah
30:00
Speaker 2
okay so if this is actually the area of your house or so it's really like you know I'm kinda big but um just to make sure as well uh sir Malik like are you also experiencing the same issue when you are are with I mean when you are sitting beside the node or beside the router huh okay cause so though you are sitting beside the router the issue is still like that like it's dropping Okay, let me just double check that. Okay, so um Sir Malik, how about the thing that you just actually running earlier? Did you receive like you know, um, some error like request timeout or something else? Yeah. Unexpected value like either I don't know how could we figure same thing out but yeah. Okay, yeah.
30:00
Speaker 1
There has been there has been no error no... It closed it. No... It's okay. A or eight? One second.
32:00
Speaker 2
now. Okay. I can you close that ping sir. just easily close it. Okay. uh sir can we run another ping but not the one that you used earlier. So run another ping test. uh use the eight point eight dot eight dot eight. So that's four eights. eight like the number eight.
32:00
Speaker 1
One second, my wife just arrived. I filed it's just we it's just the issue it's happening again, sorry. Okay, I've done it eight dot eight dot eight dot start thing Okay Okay Okay Yeah, four eights done did that, yeah. Was a dot after the last eight or was that it? Yeah, that's on now. [silence]
33:00
Speaker 2
Um, it's okay. Yeah. So, eight dot eight dot eight dot eight dot. Okay. Can I can I remove the dot after the fourth eight? So three dots only, sir. So eight dot eight dot eight dot eight. Yeah, okay. Then three... um, after the last eight. So there is only three dots, so the- okay, and then just please start running the ping.
33:00
Speaker 1
Yep. [silence] that's fine. [silence] uh, sorry, uh, it there has been an error. It says rats are not found. It says wallet not found. You are not connected to your wallet. [silence] no, it doesn't have an LP.
34:00
Speaker 2
Yeah. And then use the unlimited, sir, OK? OK, thank you so much. And then, uh, let's, uh let's put up a timer, like, um, let's, uh put up a timer here, sir, for five minutes. I, and I'll, I'll just let you know once it's done, OK? And then give me, if there, I'm sorry. Okay. Okay. Okay. Um, sir, the laptop that you are currently using right now, sir, um, can it work with an ethernet cable? Or does it have any ethernet port with it? OK. Um, and, uh, do you have a desk?
34:00
Speaker 1
Uh, I don't think so. I can check but I don't think so. Yeah, we don't. Sorry. None, none underneath the cable pull.
35:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Okay, so you don't have available like a laptop or maybe a desktop that could work with an ethernet cable, sir? Uh-huh, huh. Uh-huh, I see. Or give me one minute, sir. One moments are okay. I'm actually looking for some other options that we could actually exhaust regarding with this one. Okay. Give me one moment.
35:00
Speaker 1
Oh, just let you know it's come back on, it's running now. Shall I tell you what the thing is? No, no Laura. [silence]
37:00
Speaker 2
Okay, uh the ping you just run the ping, correct? Okay. Um it uh, yes, sir. So did you receive any request time out um error or no? So the reason actually sir why I did ask you if you do have any, you know, a laptop that could work with an ethernet cable because we are actually about to bypass the router and connect a computer directly to your modem or to the internet source. Maybe there is a problem with the internet source or with the modem that you have. That's why the router was actually acting up like this. It's not actually available. So that's why I'm still looking for some other way. Or in weekend test, like, you know, like, which or who is really causing the issue? Just give me one moment, sir, okay? [silence] hello. sir, Malik I'm sorry.
37:00
Speaker 1
I haven't tried that yet because I wasn't sure that I would do anything with the devices connected to it.
39:00
Speaker 2
So, um, have you tried our resetting the router or ringing it back to its default, you know, default factory settings? Okay, um, sir Malik, I actually have some troubleshooting or we, there are some things that we can perform for us to isolate the issue and that is uh, resetting the router itself. But after we actually do that one, uh, just to set the proper expectation regarding with this process, 'cause after we reset the router and bringing it to its factory default settings, of course, all of the nine devices that are currently connected will automatically be disconnected. Okay? And then the second thing that will happen is if the issue still actually persist. Um, of course, uh, might be, you need to contact your internet service provider to check if there is actually an issue on their end.
39:00
Speaker 1
Okay, yeah. So I have to reset the factory defaults. Yeah, that's fine.
41:00
Speaker 2
or might be there is an issue with the internet source.
41:00
Speaker 1
Okay. It's just gone straight to blue. Yeah.
42:00
Speaker 2
up until the light uh will turned off. okay. so uh we should be getting a solid purple or magenta color from your uh linksys router and after you reset this one okay. uh... did it uh okay. is it still blue right now?
42:00
Speaker 1
The badge is flashing and going back to blue. OK.
43:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Let's just wait for it because might be it's still under the process and resetting everything. Let's just wait for it. [silence]
43:00
Speaker 1
counter purple color solid purple [silence]
44:00
Speaker 2
Okay, is it, is it now I mean did it turn to solid purple or magenta?Okay, solid purple. Now sir, I want you to press again the reset button of this router like for five times
44:00
Speaker 1
okay okay now it's showing red I'm flashing blue let's just change from flashing blue to flashing light purple or pink
45:00
Speaker 2
can you press release press release? press release. do it for five times sir. uh huh. okay yeah that's actually normal so that's actually the most easiest way to set up a router by pressing the reset button for five times so let's wait up until it turns the solid blue cause that process uh will take for like about two to three minutes okay it's okay. [silence]
45:00
Speaker 1
[silence]
47:00
Speaker 2
So, is it still flashing, sir? Okay. Now that it's solid blue, sir, let's observe this one sir and then try to connect the laptop back again to the Lingus router. Uh, huh. [silence] And then I tried to observe, because as what I actually have noticed earlier, while we are talking, the internet drops every after, um, earlier that was actually every after 10 minutes. [silence]
47:00
Speaker 1
Uh the link is about brake on a normal barzer. Yeah, uh, they're on a diagnostic space. Uh, I clicked start testing running. uh, they're unlimited gun.
49:00
Speaker 2
So, let me just put up a timer here. And let me know if you experience that the internet drops or the laptop suddenly gets disconnected. But open a browser sir, please. add links to web user interface. Okay. Okay, you're still at the diagnostic page. Okay, thank you so much. Can you then run again, sir, another ping? So use the 8.8.8.8. Okay, start the ping and then use again the unlimited one. So just use the unlimited sir and then let us observe. Because this is actually what will going to happen sir since we cannot identify if the modem is the one who is really causing the issue or is it like the router because the internet only actually only drops and then the router turns to solid red I mean blinking red so if that is actually the case
49:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay.
51:00
Speaker 2
You might really need to contact your internet/service provider so that they can check it physically there and see if maybe the modem is actually the one who is faulty/ or maybe the router. So, but (okay)/(huh) this/ for this one, sir, let's just try to observe it and then let me know if the internet still drops after we do the reset, okay?
51:00
Speaker 1
No, Yabry, est-ce que chez quoi les abeilles? On va les japonéses. The being if they're running, yeah. Right, sorry, how did you find out that it was dropping every 10 minutes? Did it say on the log? Oh, okay.
52:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Uh, no, sir. The log is not actually telling it, like it's not that it's dropping every ten minutes. I did actually observe it during our conversation. [noise]
53:00
Speaker 1
Alright. Yeah, it's still connected. Yeah. And there is no error message on the ping.
54:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so, um, everything was actually, um, I mean, we cannot really identify, sir, like, you know, like as of the moment if there has been a problem, but now since we have reset the router, and it actually brought back to its factory default settings, um, what I can actually suggest about this one, sir, is to observe the connection. And yeah, so, observe the connection, sir, and if you still experience the same, um, you know, the same issue that the internet is really dropping, you might really need to consider contacting your internet service provider and then let them check the modem or the internet source that you have, since we don't have any device. Our computer that could work with an Ethernet cable. Yes, by that one. Yes, because that is actually the only way that we could determine if there is a problem with the modem, because we cannot really jump directly to the conclusion that the router or the lane is router is the one who is causing the issue, because there is two devices that are working together in this case, right? That is the modem, which is the one who is getting the internet, or the internet source, and then the router, who is the one that is, like, you know, um, providing or giving the internet or trying to spread the internet connection through all out your house. So, uh, please observe the internet connection, sir. And then when the issue happened, contact your internet service provider right away, okay? Okay. Thank you so much, sir. And if you happen or need to call us back, sir, may I speak May I speak to your technical support? Thank you. [silence]
55:00
Speaker 1
135,701. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks. Bye. Thanks. [silence]
57:00
Speaker 2
Malik just provide this ticket number the is 135 771 yes that's the reference of our conversation so yeah thank you so much as well sir Malik and don't forget to um try to observe the connection okay thank you so much yeah have a good one bye bye for now
57:00
