V2 Grader Summary

The agent failed to conduct proper diagnostics, skipped required troubleshooting steps (factory reset, 5-press), provided inaccurate instructions contradicted by the KB, and prematurely concluded a hardware defect. No escalation was made, and the customer was left to return the device, resulting in an unresolved case with significant customer effort.

V1 Case Analysis

Customer unable to add WHW01P child node; LED solid purple, app shows 'adding child node'. Agent performed incorrect power cycles and advised return to retailer without proper troubleshooting or warranty verification.

Troubleshooting Steps
  • Performed repeated, non-standard power cycles (unplug, wait 2s, plug in, wait 5s)
  • Attempted to add the node using the Linksys mobile app
Key Observations
  • Agent's recovery procedure (unplug 2s, wait 5s) is not documented in any Linksys KB for node reset or pairing issues.
  • No standard node-pairing methods were attempted: no factory reset, no 5-press method, no Add Node via web UI.
  • Agent declared a hardware defect without exhausting basic, documented troubleshooting steps.
  • No collection of serial number or warranty status despite recommending a return.
  • The power cycle instructions were repeated multiple times, indicating poor troubleshooting flow and efficiency.
Positive Highlights
  • Maintained a polite and calm tone throughout the call.
Agent Errors / Gaps
  • Provided an incorrect and undocumented recovery procedure (unplug 2s, wait 5s) that does not align with Linksys KB for node reset or pairing.
  • Failed to perform any standard node-pairing troubleshooting (factory reset, 5-press method, Add Node via web UI).
  • Declared a hardware defect without attempting basic, documented recovery steps.
  • Did not verify or collect the device serial number or warranty status.
  • Repeated an ineffective procedure multiple times, demonstrating poor troubleshooting efficiency and accuracy.

V2 Indicator Ratings

Resolution
R1 Not Met Issue actually resolved conf 95%
Agent concluded the device was defective and advised return without resolving the issue or confirming a hardware fault through proper diagnostics.
R2 Partially Met Diagnostic thoroughness conf 90%
Agent performed a power-cycle loop and suggested using the Linksys app, but skipped key steps like factory reset, 5-press, or verifying internet/WAN status on the parent.
R3 Not Met Correct resolution path conf 95%
Agent prematurely declared a hardware defect instead of exhausting all standard troubleshooting paths (e.g., factory reset, 5-press, wired setup) before concluding failure.
Technical Accuracy
T1 Not Met Technically accurate info conf 95%
Agent did not ask diagnostic questions (e.g., model confirmation, parent router status, firmware version) and jumped directly to a hardware failure conclusion.
T2 Partially Met Appropriate tools / resources used conf 85%
Agent referenced the Linksys app as a tool but did not guide its use effectively or leverage admin UI (192.168.1.1) to check node status or logs.
T3 Not Met No misinformation conf 100%
Agent provided a 'recovery procedure' (unplug 2s, plug in 5s) that is not found in any KB; KB specifies holding reset for 10-20 seconds for factory reset. Agent also declared hardware failure without evidence.
Communication
C1 Not Met Clear & professional language conf 90%
Long silences, repetitive instructions without confirmation, and no clear framing or transitions; agent lost control of the interaction flow.
C2 Not Met Confirmed understanding conf 90%
Agent used vague, non-adaptive language (e.g., 'recovery procedure' without definition) and failed to confirm understanding or adjust to customer's frustration.
Customer Ownership
O1 Not Met Ownership & empathy conf 95%
Agent abandoned ownership by directing customer to return the device rather than escalating or continuing supported troubleshooting.
O2 Not Met Proactive follow-through conf 95%
No specific next steps, timeline, or follow-up offered — only a vague suggestion to return the product.
O3 Not Applicable Closure confirmation conf 100%
No prior case history was referenced; this appears to be first contact with no handoff.
Escalation Judgment
E1 Not Met Correct escalation decision conf 90%
Agent failed to escalate despite unresolved issue and limited troubleshooting; a valid escalation path existed for suspected hardware fault after full L1 steps.
E2 Not Applicable Escalation prep & handoff conf 100%
No escalation was performed, so execution cannot be evaluated.
Customer Experience
X1 Partially Met Customer effort minimised conf 85%
Agent used polite closing phrases and thanked the customer, but showed minimal empathy when declaring the device defective without validation.
X2 Not Met Tone & rapport conf 90%
Agent maintained a mechanical tone, ignored customer’s visible frustration, and did not adapt pace or engagement level.
X3 Not Met Overall experience conf 95%
Customer had to repeat power-cycle steps multiple times and ultimately faced product return — high effort due to incomplete support.
