Ticket subject: Connection Issue
Transcript quality flagged: the ASR/quality-validation pipeline detected and excluded unreliable transcript segments from grading (2 hallucinated segments, 2 too-garbled-to-score segments). Excluded from aggregate KPIs — treat remaining scores and transcript with caution.
Auto-Zero applied: T3 Not Met due to materially incorrect technical instruction: agent directed customer to manually upload firmware via unsupported method (http://192.168.1.1/fwupdate.html), which violates KB policy stating manual firmware file download or rollback is not supported. This constitutes a critical failure under T3.

V2 Grader Summary

The agent achieved a full resolution by restoring internet connectivity and Wi-Fi functionality through systematic troubleshooting and firmware re-flash. However, the use of an unsupported manual firmware upload method constitutes a critical technical inaccuracy, triggering an auto-zero under T3. Despite successful outcome, this violation of documented KB policy cannot be overlooked.

V1 Case Analysis

Customer reported no internet on MR2000 after reset. Performed factory reset, 5-press diagnostic, and PPPoE configuration. Manual firmware upload via incorrect URL was attempted but ultimately successful via standard interface. Internet connectivity restored and verified.

Troubleshooting Steps
  • Collected model, serial, and warranty status
  • Performed factory reset (25-second hold)
  • Performed 5-press diagnostic reset
  • Accessed router UI via http://myrouter.local
  • Attempted manual firmware upload via unsupported URL (incorrect method)
  • Configured PPPoE with ISP credentials
  • Power-cycled modem and router
  • Verified internet connectivity
Key Observations
  • Agent correctly identified PPPoE as the connection type and guided proper configuration after initial confusion.
  • 5-press method was correctly applied on MR2000, which is a supported model per KB (universal_5press_models.md).
  • Manual firmware upload procedure via custom URL (https://192.168.1.1/FS/firmware/update.html) is not supported or documented in Linksys KB (universal_firmware_update.md).
  • Call included unnecessary steps (incognito window, multiple browser restarts) that prolonged resolution.
  • Customer confirmed internet was working at the end of the call.
Positive Highlights
  • Collected warranty, model, and serial information early in the call (01:00–03:00).
  • Correctly performed factory reset and 5-press diagnostic reset for MR2000, which is a supported model (universal_5press_models.md).
  • Identified PPPoE as the correct connection type and guided customer to enter ISP credentials (34:00).
  • Successfully restored internet connectivity and verified it across devices (87:00–94:00).
  • Assisted customer in updating Wi-Fi SSID and password for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands (91:00).
Agent Errors / Gaps
  • Provided a non-supported manual firmware upload procedure using an incorrect URL (https://192.168.1.1/FS/firmware/update.html) — this method is not documented or supported in Linksys KB (universal_firmware_update.md).
  • Directed customer to use incognito window unnecessarily and gave unclear navigation instructions (26:00–28:00), contributing to confusion.
  • Failed to verify PPPoE credentials earlier in the call, leading to repeated configuration attempts and delays.
  • Incorrectly suggested checking firmware via an unsupported web path rather than using the standard Administration → Firmware interface.

V2 Indicator Ratings

Resolution
R1 Met Issue actually resolved conf 98%
The router was restored to full functionality: internet connection established via PPPoE, firmware re-flashed, and Wi-Fi network successfully configured and accessible by devices.
R2 Met Diagnostic thoroughness conf 95%
Agent performed systematic troubleshooting: verified physical connections, conducted factory reset, checked IP assignment, diagnosed PPPoE failure, power cycled modem and router, and ultimately re-flashed firmware to resolve the issue.
R3 Met Correct resolution path conf 95%
Correctly identified device as under warranty and pursued full diagnostic and repair path rather than defaulting to RMA or dismissal; provided best-effort resolution path appropriate to the situation.
Technical Accuracy
T1 Met Technically accurate info conf 93%
Agent identified key symptoms (solid red light, no internet), asked targeted questions (model/serial, LED status, connection type), verified PPPoE credentials, and logically progressed from reset to firmware intervention.
T2 Met Appropriate tools / resources used conf 90%
Used appropriate tools: local web interface (myrouter.local), Windows network connection panel (ncpa.cpl), IP diagnostics, and direct firmware upload via hidden URL — all relevant and necessary for diagnosing and resolving a PPPoE and firmware issue.
T3 Not Met No misinformation conf 95%
Agent instructed manual firmware upload via unsupported method (http://192.168.1.1/fwupdate.html), which contradicts KB stating 'manual firmware file download or rollback is not supported'; also incorrectly claimed PPPoE usernames must be in email format, which is not a universal requirement.
Communication
C1 Partially Met Clear & professional language conf 80%
Agent maintained general control but had multiple long silences, unclear transitions (e.g., sudden shift to firmware download), and occasional disorganization in step sequencing.
C2 Partially Met Confirmed understanding conf 80%
Used technical terms like 'ncpa.cpl', 'IPv4 connectivity', and 'MAC address clone' without sufficient explanation; some instructions were overly complex or unclear, especially around browser navigation.
Customer Ownership
O1 Met Ownership & empathy conf 98%
Agent owned the case from start to finish, did not transfer, followed through on all commitments, and remained engaged until full resolution was confirmed.
O2 Met Proactive follow-through conf 95%
Clearly communicated next steps (reset, PPPoE setup, firmware flash, Wi-Fi rename), set realistic expectations, and completed all required actions with customer confirmation.
O3 Not Applicable Closure confirmation conf 100%
This was the first contact; no prior case history existed to reference or hand off.
Escalation Judgment
E1 Not Applicable Correct escalation decision conf 100%
No escalation was performed and none was warranted after successful resolution.
E2 Not Applicable Escalation prep & handoff conf 100%
No escalation occurred; issue was resolved at L1.
Customer Experience
X1 Met Customer effort minimised conf 95%
Agent consistently expressed empathy ('I really do apologize'), thanked the customer for patience, and acknowledged difficulty of the process.
X2 Partially Met Tone & rapport conf 85%
Attempted to adapt tone but at times overwhelmed customer with technical steps; customer expressed confusion during browser and firmware upload steps.
X3 Partially Met Overall experience conf 80%
Customer had to repeat actions (e.g., reconnecting cables, multiple browser attempts) and perform complex manual steps (firmware upload via hidden URL) that could have been avoided with clearer guidance.

Speaker 2
What seems to be the exact issue, sir? RF 140: Is the power still on? [silence]
05:00
Speaker 1
I of internet there, so, um, we, we're just guessing that something maybe in the settings of the router or something or other may have maybe something changed there somehow just, just as a fluke.

So, um, and then I've tried reconnecting and I and I'm just not able to reconnect, um like, um, just even our, you know, our phones. I have the Linksys app on my phone. I've been trying to, um, just kind of try to set set it up again. And, for some reason, I'm just not, uh, um, getting it to set up, so. Yeah. Just one. Yep, just the one. Correct. Yeah.
06:00
Speaker 2
OK. How many, how many links is devices do you have? Just one. OK. So right now you are unable to go online using the links router. OK.
06:00
Speaker 1
uh, no, yeah, this is the first time. we hadn't, we hadn't had any issues with the router at all up to this, really, up to this point.
07:00
Speaker 2
All right. So, yeah, we may need to check first, sir, if we um, the hardware's still working because the power is still on. So there's just a need for us to verify the settings. We need to manually set this up. We will also need to check the firmware. Okay. Um, yeah. All right. So, right now, you have the modem connected to the internet port of this Linksys router, correct? Okay. And currently what is the the LED indicator?
07:00
Speaker 1
Red.
08:00
Speaker 2
Okay. All right, we we may need to reset that device to factory defaults. So, to perform the reset, uh, kindly press the, the reset button at the back of the Linksys for 25 seconds. Um, All right. Yes, yes, so it's reset.
08:00

19:00
Speaker 1
Okay. 1.1.5.2.10.166. [silence] two yeah, yeah. Okay, on ports it should go yeah. So there's an X under the 10/100 Mbps.
20:00
Speaker 2
Okay. All right. Now, kindly scroll down. Okay. Try to scroll down and look for ports. All right. Under ports, you have their internets. Do you see X under one GBTS under internets? So under ports, you have 10/100 and BPS. So, that's good. So, that's okay. So, that's why you can now put this here. And that's all right.
20:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's yep, that's next to the internet. Yep. It's on it's on it's on the fourth, and it's under one GPPS. Yeah, on port 4. OK.
21:00
Speaker 2
under internet is it under internet okay all right so what about the the one two three four do you see an x it's under one gbps let me just check this router hold on sir yeah you should be able to get one gbps under internet under internet you only have 10 slash 100 in bps
21:00
Speaker 1
That's that's what it's yeah the exit on in it yeah switch the cable oh hey let me see what I blue
22:00
Speaker 2
Sir. um, can we switch the cable please? Yes. Because maybe you're using uh the uh Cat uh 4 type of uh or the Cat 3 type of the Ethernet cable. That's why um you're just getting 10/100 and BPS there. What is the what is the color of the cable that is connecting from your modem to the internet port of the Linksys? What is the color of the cable? Is that a cable that came with the Linksys?
22:00
Speaker 1
i don't recall getting a cable with the linksys to tell you the truth. I do have a yellow cable, would that have come with the linksys? I I don't know, I don't know. It's I have a gray cable connecting to the computer and a blue cable connecting So you want to replace the the cable going from the Internet to the router. Okay. So leave the cable the so the gray cable that's running from the router.
23:00
Speaker 2
The is a yellow cable that you've connected the computer with? Oh, you have A gray cable. Okay. Can we use that yellow cable instead? Let's replace the the blue cable and use the yellow cable? Yes, that is correct.
23:00
Speaker 1
What's up to the computer is fine? Okay. Okay. Now I'm tracking. Okay. OK. Let me the much I.
24:00
Speaker 2
Yes, that cable is fine because we're getting 1 Gbps of speed on that cable. So let's just try a different cable because when we checked the internet port, it only gets 10/100 Mbps. So, [silence] Did you um replace cables by the way? Or you use the same one?
24:00
Speaker 1
No, I mean when it, before it went bad, no, I didn't replace any cables. [silence] Well, yeah, now it's, I mean that yellow cable, that one. [silence] I did replace after, after the one that I did [silence] because I was testing to see, you know, if it was a bad cable or not. [silence] I'm looking at the cable that used to be, that was there, I'm not sure. [silence] So, do I have to refresh this to see? [silence]
25:00
Speaker 2
Okay. So it's still the same cables. All right. Yes, please, try to refresh it sir. Or you may reload that page. [silence]
25:00
Speaker 1
okay all right that was the trouble shooting page okay still saying internet at 10 for 100 Mbps uh I so yeah yeah yep okay
26:00
Speaker 2
and reopen it please [silence] are you using uh [silence] Google Chrome right now? that's Google Chrome [silence] can we click on the uh [silence] the three dots on top? okay [silence] and uh [silence] click on open incognito window
26:00
Speaker 1
In the new window. See, for some reason, it won't let me. New incognito. It won't let me do that. New tab. New window. But the new incognito window is not for some reason. Uh, yeah, no. I mean, I do, but it's not letting, I can't click on it.
27:00
Speaker 2
Okay, so, yep. Did you see that option incognito window?
27:00
Speaker 1
It's, I, it's, it's not doing anything when I click on it. It's not, yeah, I'm not getting, it's not getting me a, yeah, new incognito window. For some reason now, I can't open that. I can open a new window, just a new window. Okay. Okay. Yes. All right. So you want me to go back to the old window I was in, or you want me to in the new window here? Okay? Gotcha.
28:00
Speaker 2
It should open actually a new window once you click it. Okay. All right. Let's just open a new window instead. Okay. And go back again to http://myrouter.local. Just enter a new window. Just open a new window.
28:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Alrighty. Were there? Okay. That's the same. Correct.
29:00
Speaker 2
Because maybe it was, it's opening a cache page. So that's why we're, all right. So kindly go back to troubleshooting and then report. Then check the ports again under internet. It's still 10 slash 100 MBPS. [silence] Do you happen to know, sir, if your modem supports 1GBBPS of speed? Because maybe, uh, right now the reason why we're not getting the 1G EPS speed on the, uh, on the router because it only, uh, covers up to 10 slash 100 and BPS. How much speed did you subscribe from your internet provider? Oh, I see. Okay. All right. Okay. Yes. I thought that you were you were, uh, you were getting 1G BPS from them. All right. So let's just go back to the page. So this is really. [silence]
29:00
Speaker 1
onw WIT y o on the devices or on the report OK. Go back, Oh, sorry. OK. So report. All right. So got yer plane. Yep. internet connection. OK. So internet connection. as connection. OK, internet address. There's nothing there. Got it.
31:00
Speaker 2
And issue. So just go back to the page and uh, under again, troubleshooting. Kindly look for Internet connection IP v4. And do you see there internet? It's under a report, it's still the same page. Yes and then look for internet connection IP v4. And then look for internet address, there is nothing. [silence]
31:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay.
32:00

Now, please click apply, and then okay. By the way, for the connection type, uh, did you set up automatic configuration for that?
33:00
Speaker 1
I was just on the phone with our internet guys yesterday. So they were telling you know when we were setting up the the computer itself bypassing the router, they said it was a Peqpalie and then I had a username and password. So do you: right. Should I put that in here then? Right here? I guess? That was? Okay. All right. I can that's okay. I was wondering when I was looking at it, I said, oh, well, cuz now that it's all been reset, I guess. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That's been done. You still want me to leave the Mac address clone enabled and disable that now? Okay.
34:00
Speaker 2
Oh, I see. So you have a username and password from your internet provider. Oh, I see. Yes, we need to, sorry, we need to choose PP, POE for that one, sir. I should have asked. Yeah, um, yeah. Thank you for, thank you for informing, yes. So just set the connection type to P-p-o-e and type in the username and password from your internet provider. Disable that, disable that.
34:00
Speaker 1
All right. Okay. I'll go and apply this. No, it's just, uh uh, it's not email. No. Okay. So I, I, I went, okay. All right. So I went through the waiting thing. I'm back to that page. Um, internet settings. Thank you. Yep. Okay. All right. I'm at the main page now.

36:00
Speaker 2
Troubleshooting and then report again. Now kindly check the connection type there under internet connection IPv four. Okay, it's still connecting. Yes. So we'll wait for the status. Yes, it should say the status is that it should says connected. Okay, once it actually gets a connection from your internet provider. It still shows connecting.
36:00
Speaker 1
I'm on the router. Hmm. Well, because it wasn't an email. It wasn't email when, when I put it in there yesterday. So, uh, no, it was just into the computer under the ethernet, ethernet connection network connection. Correct.
37:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, cuz usually sir, um, for the username, it should be an email format. Do you have an email address from your internet provider? it's it's Where did you put it in? Do you have any like software from your internet provider? Oh, okay. So you have a PP POE connection on your computer. [silence]
37:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so on the troubleshooting page, uh, refresh, open in browser, print, the HCP client table, and then okay. Let's see, status, diagnostics. Um, on the diagnostics, I mean, there's, share router info with Linksys, internet address, factory reset, restart, um, ping. Yes, it does, yeah.
