V2 Grader Summary

The agent failed to resolve the issue or apply accurate technical guidance, providing invalid URLs and skipping core troubleshooting steps like power cycling or factory reset. Despite escalating appropriately with a clear callback window, the lack of warranty verification, incorrect information, and repeated customer effort due to poor communication resulted in significant gaps in resolution and experience.

V1 Case Analysis

Customer unable to access MBE7000 admin UI; sees blank/blue screen with 'Trying to reach Linksys Now?' message. Tried direct URL workaround, multiple browsers, incognito mode, and offline access. Agent miscommunicated URL and suggested invalid HTTPS. Customer refused factory reset. Escalated to Level 2 with callback scheduled.

Troubleshooting Steps
  • Provided direct URL workaround (`http://192.168.1.1/ui/local/dynamic/index.html`).
  • Verified router IP/default gateway (10.100.1.1).
  • Tried multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) and incognito/private mode.
  • Attempted offline access by disconnecting modem.
  • Suggested factory reset (customer refused).
Key Observations
  • Customer became increasingly frustrated and demanded a replacement.
  • Agent did not verify admin password or attempt password recovery as per KB.
  • Agent provided the correct workaround URL but miscommunicated parts of it (e.g., omitting `.html`, suggesting HTTPS).
  • Agent did not attempt a factory reset despite customer openness to troubleshooting earlier in the call.
  • Call ended with escalation after 37 minutes without resolution.
Positive Highlights
  • Correctly identified the product model (MBE7000).
  • Provided the known direct-URL workaround from the official KB.
  • Verified the router's actual IP address (10.100.1.1).
  • Escalated appropriately to Level 2 after exhausting available options.
Agent Errors / Gaps
  • Did not collect serial number or confirm warranty status.
  • Failed to verify admin password or suggest password-recovery flow.
  • Miscommunicated the direct URL multiple times (e.g., omitting `.html`, suggesting HTTPS).
  • Did not follow KB flow: skipped factory reset despite customer openness to troubleshooting.
  • Provided inconsistent troubleshooting path with no clear logic or validation between steps.
  • Failed to acknowledge customer frustration or summarize next steps clearly.

V2 Indicator Ratings

Resolution
R1 Not Met Issue actually resolved conf 98%
The agent did not resolve the issue or achieve any outcome — UI access was never restored, no RMA issued, and no valid self-help path was provided.
R2 Partially Met Diagnostic thoroughness conf 85%
Agent tried browser variations, IP checks, and incognito mode, but skipped fundamental steps like power cycling or factory reset per KB guidance.
R3 Not Met Correct resolution path conf 90%
Agent failed to verify warranty status despite having customer info; escalated instead of following OOW best-effort standard or initiating RMA for in-warranty hardware fault.
Technical Accuracy
T1 Partially Met Technically accurate info conf 82%
Agent identified symptom (can't reach UI) and asked about browser/IP, but skipped root cause diagnostics like LED status, firmware, or connectivity tests.
T2 Not Met Appropriate tools / resources used conf 92%
No use of diagnostic tools (e.g., ping, traceroute, remote session); relied solely on customer’s verbal description despite available data.
T3 Not Met No misinformation conf 95%
Agent provided incorrect URLs (e.g., '/ui/local/dynamic/index.html') and suggested HTTPS for local UI — neither supported per KB.
Communication
C1 Partially Met Clear & professional language conf 80%
Agent maintained basic flow but failed to set expectations early and had disjointed transitions (e.g., sudden shift to incognito mode without explanation).
C2 Not Met Confirmed understanding conf 90%
Agent used confusing technical instructions without confirming understanding; customer repeated frustration due to unadapted communication.
Customer Ownership
O1 Partially Met Ownership & empathy conf 85%
Agent eventually escalated with supervisor involvement, but earlier workaround attempts lacked ownership and felt evasive.
O2 Met Proactive follow-through conf 96%
Agent set a clear next step: Level 2 callback within 1–3 hours, which was specific and realistic.
O3 Not Applicable Closure confirmation conf 98%
No prior case history referenced; no handoff occurred — this appears to be first contact on the issue.
Escalation Judgment
E1 Met Correct escalation decision conf 94%
Escalation occurred after reasonable L1 troubleshooting and clear customer demand, meeting trigger criteria.
E2 Met Escalation prep & handoff conf 97%
Agent explained escalation path (Level 2), reason (further resolution needed), and provided callback window.
Customer Experience
X1 Partially Met Customer effort minimised conf 83%
Agent apologized and said 'I understand,' but did not specifically acknowledge customer’s repeated troubleshooting or fatigue.
X2 Partially Met Tone & rapport conf 81%
Agent remained calm but continued ineffective technical steps despite rising frustration, without adjusting tone or approach.
X3 Not Met Overall experience conf 91%
Customer had to repeat IP details multiple times; agent re-asked already-provided information, increasing effort unnecessarily.

It says your current device cannot be connected to your router's network, um, that you have a VPN enabled or that you're using a custom DNS provider. And neither of those are right. [silence] Yes, I'm able to get online, but I can't get to the, to the router. [silence] No, I've called things before.

I'm going to try to access it here.
02:00
Speaker 1
I haven't. [silence] Yes. [silence] I was using my router.local and I've tried both of them. [silence] No. [silence] Firefox? [silence]
03:00
Speaker 2
for this one, sir. We're aware about this. So, we're there are work arounds that we're going to do on how to access the web UI. How did you access the router? I don't know. I don't how did you? Did you use a browser on your computer? And did you access the 192 or is it the myrouter.local? Mm-hm. Okay. Can we try this? Are you are using Google Chrome, sir? Or what browser do you use? Okay. All right. That's where let's try
03:00
Speaker 1
Uh huh. Yes. I. Go ahead. Okay. 192.168.1.1 / what is it?
04:00
Speaker 2
uh, please uh, use the link in the address bar. Okay? So uh, on the address bar, please down tap this. all right, that's H T T P://192.168.1.1/index.html. UI, like you for umbrella eye for india, then forward slash local L.O.C.A.L. then forward slash dynamic D.Y.N.A.M.I.C. then forward slash index I-N-D-E-X dot html. Yeah.
04:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, nothing's coming up. Yeah, it's serving up. Serving up. Server cannot be found.
06:00
Speaker 2
Okay. it's not showing up like the h. Go ahead and let me verify HTTP and then colon, forward slash, forward slash, 192.168.1.1 slash UI slash local slash dynamic slash index.htm, right? Okay, and then it said page cannot be displayed. How about let's try to do the HTTP.
06:00
Speaker 1
What? Yeah, I'm doing I tried that too it's not coming up. So basically, it looks like this is a issue you guys are having. It can't find the something's wrong with the router. It can't find the interface. It can't the there's something wrong with the router. Let's see.
07:00
Speaker 2
Sir. Instead of just using the HTTP, can we try HTTPS then colon forward slash forward then the link that I provided? uh, it's just only accessing the route sir but the connection is okay. but do you have Google Chrome right now sir, that we could try?
07:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's not working either. The site can't be reached. It's in the ten format.
08:00
Speaker 2
Just checking. All right. So let's double check what's the IP address of the router right now, if it is still one eight two or the ten dot ten.
08:00
Speaker 1
No, it's MAC. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I don't have anything that saysl detail. Oh, wait a minute. Details. [silence]
09:00
Speaker 2
uh, it's 10 format. Uh, can we double check it, sir? Oh, um, can we um open the command prompt on your computer? This is Windows, right? It's Mac. All right, just go to the Apple menu, sir. And then system preferences, our system set settings. And then Wi-Fi, our network first, network and then Wi-Fi. And then after Wi-Fi, um, go down to details. And what is your, um, IP and router?
09:00
Speaker 1
10.100.1.127. Oh, for the router. The router is 101, 110.111 here. I'll try that. 10 and 10.110.1, what was it? [silence]
10:00
Speaker 2
All right, and what is the IP address? How about the default gateway or the router? Yes. Okay, um, sorry, sorry. The 10. The router again, sir? 10.100.1.1.
10:00
Speaker 1
Same thing, trying to reach [silence] linksys now. [silence] Something's wrong. [silence] So something's wrong with the router. [silence] No, I put in 10.110.1.1. [silence] All right. Hold on, hold on. [silence]
11:00
Speaker 2
You use that link? Sir? Just for a moment. Did you use that link that with forward slash UI forward slash local. Sir? Okay, can we can we try that link, sir? Like HTTP and then colon forward slash forward slash. Sir?
11:00
Speaker 1
What's what? Firefox. Okay, I tried it again and still the same. This link is trying to reach links easy now. So, what is this problem? You said this is a known issue. What's going on? We've, I've used all the other browsers, I've used Chrome and I've used Safari and it's not working.
12:00
Speaker 2
What browser are we using right now, sir? What browser like Chrome or is it the Firefox? There might be some settings on the router, so I'm not really sure about this. But we actually, we did some work around to suggest if possible, we could try to use other browser, okay?
12:00
Speaker 1
Both. myrouter.local
13:00
Speaker 2
Okay, again, you use that, did you use HTTP or just HTTPS? And can we try the my router.local, the same link, the one that with UI, local, instead of the 10 dot one, one, 10. So like http:// myrouter.local/ and then /ui. Yeah, myrouter.local/ and then /ui.
13:00
Speaker 1
And I'm not coming up. Serving offline. What? I don't use Google Chromes. I needed to work on Firefox or Safari.
14:00
Speaker 2
/local /dynamic /index.html. Hav you tried the incognito mode of your router, of Google Chrome? Sir? Can we open Google Chrome? Let's try the incognito mode. I did it. Okay. All right. Um, on this Firefox, um, do you have option to use private browsing or private? The sound cuts, so people when worse, have to. Browser? Hold the OS. Of the marked Chrome, Windows 10 from the a world wide web. Support people, Chrome. Firefox that.
14:00
Speaker 1
Yes. And I've tried that and it doesn't work. I mean, I didn't just call you when it broke. I tried a lot of troubleshooting myself. I need to get out of here. It's 3:00 a.m. Yes. So look, this seems to be a known issue. Something's wrong with the router. What can you do to fix it? Okay.
15:00
Speaker 2
And again, you already used the private browsing on Firefox, right? Okay. All right. So I can just leave you on hold for just three to five minutes. Let me just double-check my resources. I'll be back. Thank you.
15:00
Speaker 1
You want me to disconnect the internet from the router and then try it again. Hold on.
19:00
Speaker 2
um... is that the one on... okay. We'll try this, we'll try to do this another workaround. Um... if it is possible, if we can, um... like, disconnect the, um, modem out from the links, uh, rather, like, we are going to access the, um, router offline, like, without internet. [silence] From the router, from the lenses, um, yes, just disconnect. Yes, sir.
19:00
Speaker 1
Okay, I disconnected the router, I mean the modem from the router.
20:00
Speaker 2
Okay. The light is red right now.
20:00
Speaker 1
[silence]
21:00
Speaker 2
On the router, there it shows red right now, since we disconnected the modem. Okay, but let's try again, um, accessing the page. Okay, hold on, let's try. It says, uh, probably, uh, probably yeah, you, issue with.
21:00
Speaker 1
there oh yes there's a problem with the router itself if it won't come up ok I just tried the what I just tried the 10.11.10.1. remote dynamic and index and it can't find it so there's something wrong with the router ma I I tried it all there's something wrong with the router I tried it all I tried it all there's something wrong with the router.
22:00
Speaker 2
just loading the interface sir um just the page of the router um but no problem with the um on the router itself but just the um the page but still it all um okay um did you just try the just the 10.10 0.1 okay sorry 192.168.1.8 sir um not the link sir but just the um [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence]
22:00
Speaker 1
No, I haven't accessed anything. Nothing will come up. I did, and it's not working. No. It's black. It's not connecting to anything. Okay. Now the screen just went blue. [silence] What does that mean? Is there any text or anything on it? The screen is clear blue. There is no text on it. Hmm. What happened here? [silence] Do you think I'll be able to return this? Maybe everything will eventually be okay, we just have to wait a bit.
23:00
Speaker 2
Okay, you just accessed the 10.100.1.1. Right? Can we try again? suggest the numbers without that . They still routed you to that. um, trying to reach Linksys now.
23:00
Speaker 1
Okay, I'm at the end of my rope with this now. Stop giving me workaround. There's a problem with the router. You need to replace the rotor. No, it's not working. No, no. If something on the router is not working, it needs to be replaced. How can I go in and change my settings? How can I go in and adjust my Wi-Fi? How can I go in and adjust my DNS?
24:00
Speaker 2
Um, with this one sure, um, when it comes into route functionality, like internet connection, there's no problem with that.
24:00
Speaker 1
If I can't reset the settings on the, on the router, it's something wrong. You need to replace it. I don't want another workaround. I don't, I don't want another workaround. If, something's wrong, I want it fixed. Because if there's something wrong with this, something else could go wrong later. and then you'll be like, oh, you don't have warranty now. I want the router fixed. You think I haven't done that already? You're trying to do everything you can just to not replace something. and the problem is the router. You have a warranty, use it. [silence]
25:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Um, I actually heard there is one that we could still try, is by doing a reset. Um, okay, so we could try to do a reset, sir, and then reconfigure the router.
25:00
Speaker 1
Yes, it is it is it's the router interface on the router. Ma'am. Can I speak to your supervisor, please? I need you to do this right away. I've been on the phone long enough.
26:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Because actually, it's not the, um, it's not a hardware failure, sir. It's just only the, um, it's just the setup. Okay. Just stay on the line, sir. Let me just call my, my immediate supervisor. Stay on the line. Thank you. Uh, give me like 3 to 5 minutes, sir.
26:00
Speaker 1
Yes. Yes, you are. [silence] That is correct and we've tried everything. I'm not going anywhere. This is a non... if this is a non... if this is a known issue, then that means it's a hardware issue, something within your hardware. I have a warranty. Why do you keep post poning it? Why don't you just replace the unit?
33:00
Speaker 2
However, what we can do, what we can do instead, sure. We will going to if you may, OK? We will going to escalate this one to our level two team for them to be able to check for any further resolution on this. Someone will going to call you back, Michael, sure. But that may take maybe two to three hours if it's if you're still available by that time. Are you OK with that, sir? OK. So I'm will set the appointment call back, OK, within one to two hours, or maximum of three.
34:00
Speaker 1
Why is it that you have a known resolution, but nobody wants to fix the resolution? If it's a known issue, then you can fix it. Oh yeah, it's a known issue, sir. We have this problem with that. We'll go ahead and send you out a new unit. [silence] It'll be in the mail. [silence] I mean. [silence]
36:00
Speaker 2
Only our level 2 team has the um um uh the authority to approve the answer. Yeah, um our level 2 team, okay, um probably knows how to uh how to uh to fix that issue, um Michael. Um that is why uh if you may, okay, let us uh escalate the case so that they can call you back. Now, if there will be available a level 2 um representative, um maybe less than an hour, for sure they will going to call you back, too. [silence]
36:00
Speaker 1
Okay, please note, okay, this because if nobody calls me back, I will escalate it even further. Okay. Bye-bye.
37:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, yeah, I understand sir. Sorry for the inconvenience, Michael. Okay, let me, let me set that appointment callback, sir, for you, okay. All right. Thank you. Thank you for understanding, sir. And, uh, I will not take much of your time, Michael. You have a wonderful day, sir. bye bye for Now, sir.
37:00
