Sentiment Trajectory
Ticket subject: General Inquiry
Transcript quality flagged: the ASR/quality-validation pipeline detected and excluded unreliable transcript segments from grading (3 hallucinated segments, 1 too-garbled-to-score segment). Excluded from aggregate KPIs — treat remaining scores and transcript with caution.
Auto-Zero applied: Agent exhibited Avoidance/Evasion (B) by refusing to engage with the core issue (wrong product), failing to use available tools, providing incorrect information, and abdicating responsibility to the retailer without initiating any internal support process.

V2 Grader Summary

The agent failed to address the customer's receipt of incorrect products, offered no troubleshooting, gave inaccurate information, and avoided ownership or escalation. The interaction lacked structure, empathy, and technical accuracy, resulting in a complete failure to resolve or advance the case.

V1 Case Analysis

Customer received RE7355 instead of ordered RE7350 range extender. Agent advised contacting seller for refund/replacement, provided incorrect support URL (support.linkedss.com), and did not create a case or verify warranty status.

Troubleshooting Steps
  • Collected customer phone number.
  • Verified order date and model discrepancy.
  • Advised customer to contact seller for refund/replacement.
  • Provided incorrect support URL (support.linkedss.com).
Key Observations
  • Agent provided an incorrect support URL (support.linkedss.com) at [64:00], which is a clear accuracy failure per the KB.
  • No case was created, and no serial number or warranty status was verified — major protocol failures for a hardware issue.
  • Agent did not offer any concrete resolution path such as RMA, replacement options, or escalation.
  • The call ended without a recap, clear closure, or empathy for the customer's inconvenience.
Positive Highlights
  • Agent collected customer phone number and name, which supports contactability.
  • Agent confirmed the order date and model discrepancy, validating the customer's issue.
Agent Errors / Gaps
  • Provided incorrect support URL (support.linkedss.com) at [64:00]; KB specifies support.linksys.com.
  • Failed to collect product serial number, which is required for warranty/RMA processing.
  • Did not create a HappyFox case or document the issue properly.
  • Did not verify warranty status or explain support eligibility for replacement/RMA.
  • Did not offer any concrete resolution path such as initiating an RMA or providing replacement options.

44:00
Speaker 2
OKAY, how about your email address?
44:00
Speaker 1
yes correct uh from woot.com a property of Amazon.com, uh, I had that it, but no, let me, I don't have it, uh, in front of me at the moment. Let me check again. One moment. uh, let's thank you for the order. Here we go. So, the order date is uh, April 16, 2026. uh, sorry, I agree. saying I could Yes. Yes. Yes. Correct. Correct. Yes. Yeah. sort of, they uh, well yeah, and they did acknowledge the problem, but uh, they don't have any more E7350s. Correct. I do. I do want the product though. I want.
45:00
Speaker 2
So you, again, so you ordered the E7350, right? Four of, uh, four of them, but the device that you received is four units of RE7350, correct? Um, so did you contacted Watts about this? Okay. So, um, they could no longer replace it, sir. Um, may I did you like ask possibly for a refund since this is an incorrect, um, device that they sent to you?
46:00
Speaker 1
I wanted the E7350. uh not that I asked. Okay. Sure. [silence]
47:00
Speaker 2
Uh, but uh, since they sent you an incorrect device, did you ask for any, like, refund since they cannot send you the correct device? Okay. So can I place you on hold for just two to three minutes or three four minutes? Let me just verify this. Okay, just stay on the line. I'll be back. [silence] Hello sir. Thank you for patiently waiting. I'm so sorry for that hold. Um, do you still have the devices right now with you, sir, the RE7-350? Okay. All right. Okay. Because, um, here's the thing, um, sir, um, the E7-350 right now, the rather, um, actually, um, it's 13.3 W that's allowed as voltage. Um, [silence]
47:00
Speaker 1
[silence] um, hmm. Well, um, let me see. Well, how... Let's put Linksys e7350 let's see although I bought it it was a little bit on sale on the Amazon price. It's a little bit more expensive right now. Um interestingly it's a shipment sold by so on Amazon. Um okay. So let me see if there's other sellers. Well, are there um other devices that perhaps uh a comparable device um that Linksys has? You said you don't have this one in in particular but uh maybe there's some [silence]
53:00
Speaker 2
tomorrow
54:00
Speaker 1
uh sort of um I'm also looking for one in particular that can um maybe that can be set up in uh different configurations like um uh I think uh like to be able to connect to uh you know like in a client mode let's say to connect to a an access point uh from the device itself and share it to the client devices connected to its switch
55:00
Speaker 2
the only um the available um um with this one sir since uh we're not directly selling it uh the only thing is only on the available on whatever available on the um market right now um this is how you can uh can check it on um um so like you just want a standalone router sir
55:00
Speaker 1
Uh, well, no, I'm talking about its integrated switch. So, like, this device, it integrates a switch, an access, a wireless access point, uh, and a, well, and the router functionality, uh, all managed by common firmware. So, um, oh, well, what I wanted to do is to be able to, let's say, on the wireless part, uh, yes to use it at access point, but also to connect it as a, like, as in the client functionality. So it, to connect to another access point. And from there, uh, let's say if you're familiar with, uh, uh, like a wireless, uh, well, an external wireless network, or uh that can provide various services like internet services or other services, and then, uh, huh. An access point. Okay.
56:00
Speaker 2
Like, you're going to set up, like, that as a plain router, and then you're going to connect a switch with it so that you can extend more devices. Yes. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hm. [silence]
56:00
Speaker 1
and then have those, have that routed onto the, well, the various clients to that are connected to this device or or switch onto this device. Uh, so I wanted to set those up in various places. Uh... Yeah, so something like that. And I know many of the Linksys ones even, I think I saw on somewhere. Uh... There are some that Linksys has that I think directly are loaded with a third party firmware or uh... Um... But uh, well, if Linksys has it on its own and uh... also the USB ports, it has maybe I thinking to connect a some printers too that would be useful, too.
57:00
Speaker 2
Because our routers can be set up as a router at the same time as a wireless access point.
57:00
Speaker 1
okay okay yeah so this one I can it looks like uh they have it uh being sold um uh Amazon changed the logo but they're uh let me see they have it um see if they have so I can find it as uh uh what they put as renewed so uh So I think where the uh where the manufacturer which I think it would be in this case linksys or uh um I don't who's is linksys owned by Belkin again I think Belkin [silence] Transfer
58:00
Speaker 2
...like a wireless router, okay? It can accommodate multiple devices connected wirelessly. [silence] But you cannot find this router on Amazon there. [silence] no, sir. sir. yes, sir. sir. sir.
58:00
Speaker 1
Foxconn will reallocate the full Belkin.
60:00
Speaker 2
Hello sir. Okay actually we are on part 14 NET now, sir.
61:00
Speaker 1
Okay, well the manufacturer sort of renewed product or the manufacturer sort of renews or refurbishes a product and then makes it available to, I'm guessing vendors for sale. But not really. No, I haven't tried. Okay. Um, so linksys. Uh, can it assist with this at all? Can linksys assist with this to, uh, uh, well get the E7350, uh, to get your, um, your proposals to return the ones I have and then get a replacement, or buy, on the on the, buy on the market, open market.
62:00
Speaker 2
All right. Yes, yes. Give me also try to check. Locally to check local store, sir. I'm sorry, sir. Oh, okay. We have one of our assignments here. Yes, yes, sir. You can check it on like on Amazon or try to check again on what if there may be other sellers have another stocks on it. But again, since they gave you a different model, sir, I think you're entitled for a possible, if they cannot return it, they cannot replace it with a correct model, then they cannot fully, like provide you with a refund since it's a different uh-huh uh-huh cause they should, if they don't no longer have that device, they will not send you an incorrect product. So, we would recommend sir to like contact them again. Okay.
62:00
Speaker 1
us and thank you. Oh, also another quick question. So, is it faster or if one calls perhaps like the well, maybe the Lynx is Hong Kong rather than the US telephone number? No, but I could call pretty much anywhere in the world. So, and I was seeing the Lynx website shows many of the the other country telephone numbers have support in English.
64:00
Speaker 2
Okay, you're welcome, sir. And to know more about our products, you can always visit our website at support.linkedss.com. Sorry. So thank you for calling. I'm calling. Links is going on. Are you calling from Hong Kong, sir? Okay. But that could probably. Well, there is a charge, sir. Since you are calling from US then you, if possible, if you'd I
64:00
Speaker 1
Yes, I'm gonna, I'm talking about the calling fees, correct? Okay, yes, on my line, depending on which ones, but I have some that I could dial that have, uh, well that include many countries already, including many of the big ones, like China, Japan, uh, probably India, yeah. Okay. yes, okay, and Twitter and YouTube. okay, okay, I'll just leave it there. Thank you.
