V2 Grader Summary

The agent correctly resolved the issue using appropriate troubleshooting steps (5-press reset, app setup) on an out-of-warranty device, meeting technical and resolution criteria. However, communication lacked empathy and adaptation, and minor inefficiencies like requesting unavailable equipment reduced customer effort reduction. No escalation was needed or performed.

V1 Case Analysis

Customer reported router not working. Performed 5‑press reset, set up Wi‑Fi via Linksys Smart Wi‑Fi app, created router admin password, and confirmed solid blue light and Wi‑Fi connectivity. Paid support $15 processed.

Troubleshooting Steps
  • Collected model and serial number.
  • Performed 5‑press reset on the router.
  • Guided customer through Linksys Smart Wi‑Fi app to configure Wi‑Fi SSID and password.
  • Created router admin password.
Key Observations
  • Agent pushed paid support before fully verifying warranty or performing basic WAN checks.
  • Provided inaccurate LED color description (solid pink is not a standard setup‑mode indicator).
  • Long periods of silence and repeated, unclear instructions reduced call efficiency.
Positive Highlights
  • Successfully reset the router using the correct 5‑press method.
  • Guided the customer through the Linksys app to configure Wi‑Fi and router admin password.
  • Confirmed solid blue light and functional Wi‑Fi connection before ending the call.
Agent Errors / Gaps
  • Did not verify modem/WAN connectivity before resetting the router.
  • Did not confirm warranty status prior to offering paid support.
  • Incorrectly described LED colors (pink vs. purple).
  • Collected payment details over the phone and stopped the recording, raising compliance concerns.
  • Inefficient call flow with many silences and repeated steps.
