V2 Grader Summary

The agent correctly identified the device as out-of-warranty and offered self-help (R3 Met), but provided technically inaccurate information (T3 Not Met) — stating 'admin' as default password when it should be the 10-digit code on the label — and failed to adapt communication to the elderly, non-technical caller (C2, X1, X2, X3 Not Met). The case was closed without resolution or ownership (R1, O1, O2 Not Met), resulting in an Ownership Gap outcome.

V1 Case Analysis

Customer unable to set up eBay-purchased router; agent provided incorrect login IP (192.168.1..1), wrong default credentials (admin/admin), and false warranty expiration date. Customer will use third-party installer.

Troubleshooting Steps
  • Requested model and serial number (model not obtained).
  • Incorrectly stated warranty expired on May 29, 2025.
  • Provided malformed IP address (192.168.1..1) and incorrect default credentials (admin/admin).
  • Instructed customer to use a computer to access router, which customer does not have.
Key Observations
  • Agent provided a malformed IP address (192.168.1..1) — invalid syntax that will prevent router access.
  • Agent instructed use of 'admin/admin' as default credentials — incorrect for most modern Linksys routers per KB.
  • Agent falsely claimed warranty expired on May 29, 2025 (a future date), demonstrating a critical factual error.
  • Agent guessed the model as 'E5 400' without verification — not a valid Linksys model.
  • Customer lacks a computer and technical skills, yet agent provided no viable self-help path (e.g., KB article, cloud interface, or email support).
Positive Highlights
  • Agent correctly identified that the router must be set up via a wired connection to a computer before Wi-Fi functions.
  • Agent remained polite and professional throughout the call despite customer confusion.
Agent Errors / Gaps
  • Provided malformed router IP address (192.168.1..1) — invalid syntax will prevent access.
  • Stated incorrect default admin credentials (admin/admin) — contradicts KB which specifies Wi-Fi password on label for SPNM/LN series and newer models.
  • Falsely claimed warranty expired on May 29, 2025 — a future date, making the statement factually impossible.
  • Guessed product model as 'E5 400' — not a valid Linksys model; no attempt to verify using serial number.
  • Failed to confirm correct login method for device type; did not identify interface (e.g., myrouter.info for SPNM).
  • Provided no viable self-help path for a customer without a computer or technical knowledge.

V2 Indicator Ratings

Resolution
R1 Not Met Issue actually resolved conf 98%
Customer ended the call without resolving the issue, stating they would call a third party for setup assistance.
R2 Partially Met Diagnostic thoroughness conf 93%
Agent provided IP address and default login credentials but did not guide through actual setup steps or verify WAN connectivity; troubleshooting was incomplete.
R3 Met Correct resolution path conf 96%
Agent correctly identified the E5400 as out-of-warranty, explained limitations, and offered self-help resources rather than dismissing the case.
Technical Accuracy
T1 Partially Met Technically accurate info conf 91%
Agent asked for serial number and reset status but did not diagnose WAN connection, internet handoff, or confirm if router was receiving signal from modem.
T2 Met Appropriate tools / resources used conf 94%
No advanced tools (remote access, logs) were available or necessary; agent relied on standard verbal guidance appropriate for the scenario.
T3 Not Met No misinformation conf 97%
Agent incorrectly stated the default admin password is 'admin' for this model — EA/E5400 routers use a unique 10-digit password on the label (65986201 in this case), not 'admin'. Also gave malformed IP '192.168.1..1'.
Communication
C1 Partially Met Clear & professional language conf 92%
Agent maintained basic flow but had awkward pauses, repetitive phrasing, and unclear transitions (e.g., 'All right. So before anything else...'), slightly losing control.
C2 Not Met Confirmed understanding conf 97%
Customer is 62 years old with no computer; agent used technical terms like 'IP address', 'username', 'network tab' without simplification or confirmation of understanding.
Customer Ownership
O1 Not Met Ownership & empathy conf 98%
Agent suggested customer hire external help instead of taking ownership; no offer to assist further or arrange follow-up.
O2 Not Met Proactive follow-through conf 97%
No clear next step or timeline set; only suggestion was for customer to call someone else, with no callback commitment.
O3 Not Applicable Closure confirmation conf 100%
First contact; no prior history to reference or maintain.

X3 Not Met Overall experience conf 97%
Agent required use of a computer the customer does not have, adding unnecessary effort instead of offering alternative solutions like mobile setup guidance.

01:00
Speaker 1

02:00
Speaker 2

02:00
Speaker 1
Right. That was a, um, T, G, one, S, V, N, R, W, D, H. Uh, you talking about a TV or a? Oh, no, it's a, it's a Roku, own Roku TV. Uh, no. No, mm-mm. Well, I got two other TVs, but just the links, but I couldn't get those that do it either. Uh, well, I, that's all those wrong, trying on to TV to.
03:00
Speaker 2
fred and it would not also accept that password. And what device are you currently using as well? is it a TV, cell phone, in terms of trying to put in the password. I see. Are other devices connected right now? All right. I see. Lastly, may nose the internet provider. [silence]
03:00
Speaker 1
Uh, Connect's on. Now I can swap it over to a a wired and, you know, my TV works. This one TV works, but, so I know I got the Internet. Yeah. It's working. No, I just bought it off of uh, uh, eBay for Yeah, Mhm. It just the Roku TV. Okay.
04:00
Speaker 2
you mention this was an-old router it working before and you wanted to make it work again is that correct? Uh-huh I see and did you try to set up the router as well? and what device did you use to set up the router? All right thank you so much for that one. So before anything else, as you mentioned you just recently purchased the router you in terms of trying to make the router work, it needs to be set up or make it work using either a laptop or computer, before it can provide any kind of Wi-Fi or internet connection. After it's then set up, try wiring your uh television or the Roku directly to the router to see if it works. However, before any further troubleshooting, may start with the current model. I do have to set expectations that this E5 400 that you have which, as you mentioned purchase from eBay, is no longer in warranty. The warranty status had expired around May 29th of 2025. It's no longer eligible for uh free troubleshooting on our end. But, as always, all troubleshooting steps, guides or articles for the device is completely free and accessible on support.links.com.

Speaker 1
I'm 62 years old, I have no idea how to do any of that. But I don't have a computer or anything like that. They've just just phone. No clue how... Hmm, well, I've never had to do that before. And I've had this, this would be my third one. They last about two years and I'll have to get a new one. Uh, well I may just go back to the connect. on and they can get a rattle from them. But you can rent them from the. [silence]
06:00
Speaker 2
But if you do still wish to proceed with, uh-huh, I'm sorry. I see. The router will not fully function if it's not set up on a computer or a laptop. Since this is an on a legacy router or an original router, it needs to be set up on a computer or a laptop for it to work properly. I see. [silence] But if you do wish to proceed with, uh-huh, I see. All right. Here's the current IP address of your router, 192.168.1..1. Plug the router to the landline, and then you could just access it through this IP address. Go into your internet browser and the network tab. You just have to put in this IP address and log in. The username and your password should be admin and admin. Make sure you don't put like capital letters or anything that would be C or o instead of O or Z, instead of just the actual letter. Either C or Z and then put in the username and password and you'll be able to access the router. The updated IP is 192.
06:00
Speaker 1
but I don't know how to do it. They'll send somebody out here to hook it all up and stuff. so I I'm I'm not good on phone or computer. I don't know how to turn the computer on. Um, Okay. Well, I'll just go that route then. I'll call them, get them to come out here and put that in for me. Okay. You too. Thank you. Bye-bye.
