V2 Grader Summary

The agent correctly explained the factory reset process and handled the out-of-warranty status according to KB standards. However, the agent failed to use diagnostic tools to isolate the issue between the modem and router, and the call ended without resolution, resulting in a partial resolution.

V1 Case Analysis

Customer (Norberto Lopez) reports intermittent internet on MR8300. Agent confirmed model and out-of-warranty status, recommended factory reset. Customer declined reset due to current stable connection and opted to monitor. Agent offered to email reference number and advised callback if issue recurs.

Troubleshooting Steps
  • Confirmed router model (MR8300) and serial number.
  • Verified ISP (Spectrum) and modem status.
  • Recommended full factory reset of the router.
Key Observations
  • Agent correctly identified the model and warranty status, and offered a technically sound next step (factory reset).
  • Did not perform a wired test or ping the modem to isolate the issue, missing a key diagnostic step per KB guidance.
  • Customer email and name were captured, improving case documentation.
  • Agent maintained a calm, empathetic tone and allowed the customer to make an informed decision.
Positive Highlights
  • Accurately identified the router model (MR8300) and confirmed it is out of warranty based on serial number lookup ([02:00]).
  • Provided a technically accurate recommendation: factory reset to clear configuration glitches causing intermittent connectivity ([09:00]). The KB (universal_factory_reset.md) supports factory reset for resolving intermittent connectivity issues.
  • Communicated warranty status clearly and set appropriate expectations about support limitations ([10:00]).
  • Offered to email a reference number and advised the customer to call back if the issue recurs, providing a clear self-help path ([15:00]). This aligns with KB guidance for out-of-warranty customers (universal_support_contacts.md).
  • Maintained a patient, empathetic tone and allowed the customer to decline the reset without pressure ([12:00]–[15:00]).
Agent Errors / Gaps
  • Failed to verify the WAN connection via a direct wired test or ping the modem, which is a standard isolation step per KB (universal_speed_below_plan.md and universal_speed_performance.md).
  • Did not confirm the modem model number, which could have helped assess compatibility or known issues.

V2 Indicator Ratings

Resolution
R1 Not Met Issue actually resolved conf 98%
Agent did not resolve the issue and deferred action to a future callback: 'if you still notice this spotty connection you can give us a call back'.
R2 Partially Met Diagnostic thoroughness conf 95%
Agent suggested a factory reset as a potential fix and explained its purpose, but skipped foundational diagnostics like checking wired connectivity or performing a ping test to isolate the issue.
R3 Met Correct resolution path conf 97%
Agent correctly identified the device was out of warranty but still offered full troubleshooting support, aligning with the OOW best-effort standard.
Technical Accuracy
T1 Partially Met Technically accurate info conf 93%
Agent acknowledged the symptom (intermittent disconnects) and asked what steps were taken, but did not probe into router logs, firmware version, or WAN status to identify root cause.
T2 Not Met Appropriate tools / resources used conf 96%
No diagnostic tools were used (e.g., remote access, ping test, or router admin review), despite the scenario requiring isolation between modem and router — a ping test from a wired connection would have been appropriate.
T3 Met No misinformation conf 98%
Agent accurately described the effects of a factory reset, including reversion to default Wi-Fi credentials and clearing of configurations, consistent with universal_factory_reset.md.
Communication
C1 Met Clear & professional language conf 95%

Yes, sir. okay thank you so much ok just gonna pull that one up here but let me repeat the serial number just to make sure that is u9 v4 Victor 10 Charlie 65901200 okay thank you sir and base here on the serial number this one sir is MR8300 right for the model the model numbers or sorry the model number is MR8300 okay all right let me double check that one here okay let me create the case ticket
01:00
Speaker 1
Yes. It is, let me, let me look at which one I actually have on here. Let's see. Okay. Go ahead and do, uh, B E RTO 1991 MC @gmail.com. B as in boy. Yes. Uh, my name is, uh, Norberto Lopez. N as in Oscar.
03:00
Speaker 2
i need first sir before we move forward with your concern. can i have sir an email address? . [silence] V for Victor. [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] and first name and last name sir for the account holder.
03:00
Speaker 1
Well, it's funny, because when it connects to the internet, it's fine, but then it cuts out. And then I don't have internet like at all, it's very stop and go, stop and go. It's not like, it's slow. It's just I have internet, and then I don't have internet. I have internet, and then I don't have internet. Um between probably with like, within 30, it kind of varies. It's like 15 minutes. It could be 30 minutes,
04:00
Speaker 2
Okay, thing. Sure, and this is a best callback number in case the call get disconnected the one that ends in 7 3 7 4. Okay. So uh when you say sir, that like the internet is spotty, like are you getting a buffering connection, slow internet connection when you're connected to the network? Uh uh.
04:00
Speaker 1
It could be an hour that it does that. It does that multiple times. Multiple times. A day. In the last couple days. Uh, what I've done is I've reset the... re- like rebooted the modem. Disconnected the...both the modem and the router. I've disconnected the...uh, disconnected the internet...the internet cables to both. Let them sit for a while. And I was doing it with the with the spectrum guy online. Have, you know, we put and plugged them back in. And right now, it seems like it's having...like it hasn't gone out on me yet. It it says I have internet. But even as we were talking, it said that, cause I have internet right now. But
05:00
Speaker 2
MM - I see. And what have you tried so far, sir? ([silence] Okay.
05:00
Speaker 1
The guy that I was talking with on Spectrum was saying that the motor, that the router is not like reading the mold, no, not sorry, the modem is not reading the modem. The modem is not reading the router, sorry. I'm mixing out my words. Uh, but then he said that in the past, it looks like it has been able, it was able to meet it, but for some reason the last month or so, it hasn't been able to. So, [silence] Okay. [silence] Mhm.
06:00
Speaker 2
can double check it here, sir for the, um, 8300. Because usually for a spotty connection, if the modem can't read the router on the end, well, usually sometimes what we do is that, um, I know that spectrum already tried to power cycle, or reset, or do something on their end to refresh the connection. But what we usually do, sir, in terms of this, I
06:00
Speaker 1
Mm-hmm Hmm I believe so. Yeah, I don't remember how long I've had it, but yeah, I've had it for a while.
07:00
Speaker 2
one is that we isolate it uh using physical connection which means that uh we uh check the internet of the modem by connecting a by connecting a computer directly to it and then run few steps or ping to make sure that on the physical modem there's no any hardware issue because usually when we ping uh we do a ping test uh we make sure that there's no request time out on the modem if there's no request time out then that's the time that we proceed with the linksys router and then on the linksys router um i believe you have the device for quite a while already right Okay. um just around maybe around August of 2025 usually Spectrum try to update or um they actually until now they're actually still trying to upgrade um to cope up [silence]
07:00
Speaker 1
We honestly don't, we don't do wired connection. We don't do wired connection. Like I don't, we don't have really a computer hardware. Everything's Wi-Fi. Yeah. Yeah, we did that. Uh-huh. How long was that? Oh, um, that was probably 40 minutes ago now.
08:00
Speaker 2
Okay. So what we can at least try on this one sir, since you have internet connection. You only did a power cycle right with Spectrum? Like unplug the power and then plug it back in. How long was that one, sir? Did you remember? How long did you like turn off the router?
08:00
Speaker 1
okay gotcha okay
09:00
Speaker 2
Hmm, okay. Okay. As for this one, sir, what we can actually try to do is that since you have the device for quite a while, um we can try to perform a full factory reset, which means that, um in resetting sir the router, everything that was configured on your linksys router will be removed or deleted. So, um that will revert back to its default wi-fi name and wi-fi password that you have on your router. The reason for that one is that if we will reset it, we have we can also possibly remove any possible bugs or glitches that's causing the um intermittent connection on your wi-fi network. And then, set it up again. Set it up in order to create a new handshake or new connection with your internet service provider, and then we will be able to find out whether or not it's a connectivity issue, or there's need for connecting a signal or there's need for a transfer or replacement of router.
09:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Okay. Sounds good. Yeah.
10:00
Speaker 2
let you observe after that one may be like around 24 to 48 hours or a couple of days. if you think that the connection has improved then um we can uh we can proceed on uh you can just continue observing it but if you still notice this party connection you can give us a call back then we'll proceed with a much more advanced troubleshooting. so um that's what we can that's what we can do sir. but for the device the device is actually already out of warranty just to give you a heads up so in case there's any hardware related issue we can obviously process any replacement sir but we'll be able to provide full support in terms of the troubleshooting if needed all right so yeah so for that one sir so that's the possible um that's the layout of what we what we'll have to do first step for to address
10:00
Speaker 1
mind as well. Yeah, let's do the reset. Factory reset. Umuhm. I guess I have, I have my Macbook, but yeah. Yeah, I have my Macbook right now. So, uh, let's see here. Umuhm. So, it's interesting because I I have, I have internet connection right now, and the whole [ silence ] [ silence ] [ silence ] [ silence ] [ silence ]
11:00
Speaker 2
okay uh, okay. Alright, so we will do it manually sir, what device do you have available aside from your phone? Mmm, Ok. Okay, I see. And by the way sir before we do any troubleshooting, can you provide me what's the model number of your modem from your internet service provider?
11:00
Speaker 1
the whole time the whole time that I was talking to the spectrum guys, I looked on, you know, the app to check on the modem and it said connected. Well, disconnected the whole time. And now that I'm talking with you, it says connected. So now I'm a little hesitant with with like factory resetting it and stuff. I don't know. I don't know. Do you think I should continue to factory reset or should I just kind of let it play out and then call you guys back if I, if the issue persists? Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
12:00
Speaker 2
Yeah.
12:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Sounds good. Yeah, cause it was really it was really weird, uh as like as you were talking. And, yeah, I all of a sudden I started getting like, I and I I would have had like a spotty a spotty like I would have lost connection already, you know, by the end in the time because it's been probably I don't know maybe in almost an hour now that we've disconnected. They've reset we they've rebooted it. and everything. And I was kind of monitoring on my phone like my my uh network equipment that that I could monitor on my app with the modem that that I'm borrowing through them. The whole time I was talking to the spectrum guys. It said disconnected, you know, and then now I have internet. [silence]
13:00
Speaker 2
no, sir, and then, if you've noticed, uh, any disconnections, give us a call back right away, so we can proceed with the reset and reconfigure reconfiguration.
13:00
Speaker 1
and then it's just connected on here, so that, yeah, so, um, I think I'll, uh, I just don't want to mess, I don't want to mess it up unless I have to, if that makes sense. So, yeah. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah. Okay, sounds good. Um, I know it's not their modem because they... [silence]
14:00
Speaker 2
it's connected. okay. yes understandable sir yeah you uh usually for that one um our router is a stand-alone router so that's why i've as mentioned earlier that we sometimes isolate it first through the modem run a ping test to see if there's any disconnection from the modem itself because the reason with that one is that the router is always dependent from its internet source so since they did a refresh on the modem from there and so let's see if that one will fix your um connection with the internet but if it's still like kind of spotty maybe we can run troubleshooting as well with the um ling's router all right
14:00
Speaker 1
confirmed that it isn't the modem and they kind of thought it was they were thinking it was the router, but now I'm seeing that I do have service and I'm I mean, I guess I can afford to wait in case I do it doesn't work anymore and then I'll come back and call you guys if I need to. Okay. Okay. Okay, perfect. That'll be just, yeah, that way I don't have to rehash the whole thing to somebody else.
15:00
Speaker 2
uh, okay, okay. no worries uh the I'll provide in an email uh I'll send you an email with the reference number for this call, so in an give us a call back just prove that case number so I'll be sending it to you sir by the end of this phone call, and then I will um I will put documentation here as to if the issue still past after uh maybe 24 to 48 hours or after you observe so far the modem connection or your internet connection then will proceed with what I have laid out so far. I'll put it on the documentation. All right
15:00
Speaker 1
Okay, sounds good. Thank you very much. You too. Thank you. Bye bye.
16:00
Speaker 2
Yes. And then, yeah, for that one, yeah, I think we're good for now, sir. Um, but if you've noticed anything, we're open up until 11:00 p.m. Eastern time today. All right. You're welcome, sir. Thank you as well for taking the time calling links. Say, have a good day now, okay? You take care. Thank you, sir. Bye, bye.
