V2 Grader Summary

The agent failed to provide best-effort troubleshooting for an out-of-warranty device, incorrectly claiming no support could be offered. While empathy and next steps were communicated, the agent abandoned ownership, skipped critical diagnostics, and provided technically inaccurate LED guidance, resulting in an unresolved case and a critical avoidance violation.

V1 Case Analysis

Customer reported parent node solid red, no internet. Agent incorrectly claimed device was end-of-support, gave inaccurate LED instructions (pink/purple), performed invalid 5-press reset, and advised ISP contact without verifying modem status. Promised email with reset steps.

Troubleshooting Steps
  • Instructed customer to perform factory reset until solid blue LED
  • Claimed device would show pink/purple/red in setup mode
  • Guided 5-press reset procedure on parent node
  • Advised contacting ISP (Optimum) due to persistent red LED
Key Observations
  • Agent declared device 'end of support' without collecting model or verifying warranty (05:00), a severe protocol failure.
  • Provided factually incorrect LED behavior: no Linksys mesh node uses 'solid pink' or 'purple' to indicate setup mode (07:00, 12:00); this is a serious accuracy error.
  • Misapplied 5-press reset as a recovery method on a parent node without confirming device family or KB validity (09:00); this is not a standard procedure for most models.
  • Failed to verify modem internet status or perform basic WAN troubleshooting before directing customer to ISP.
  • No model or serial number collected, preventing accurate support (entire call).
  • Customer remained with same issue; no validation of fix or clear resolution path.
Positive Highlights
  • Repeatedly apologized and acknowledged customer frustration about missed work call.
  • Offered to send a follow-up email with step-by-step instructions.
Agent Errors / Gaps
  • Declared device out of support without collecting model or verifying warranty status.
  • Provided factually incorrect LED color interpretation (pink/purple setup mode).
  • Misapplied 5-press reset procedure without confirming device compatibility or KB validity.
  • Failed to verify modem internet connectivity before advising ISP contact.
  • Did not collect product model or serial number, violating basic protocol.
  • Gave unverified and confusing instructions that did not resolve the issue.
  • Abandoned troubleshooting by pushing ISP contact as primary resolution without evidence.

V2 Indicator Ratings

Resolution
R1 Not Met Issue actually resolved conf 95%
Agent never achieved a solid blue light or restored connectivity; closed with ISP referral and email promise while device remained offline.
R2 Partially Met Diagnostic thoroughness conf 90%
Agent attempted reset and 5-press method and monitored LED state, but skipped model/firmware verification and did not test internet at modem.
R3 Not Met Correct resolution path conf 95%
Agent claimed device was 'end of support' and refused phone/chat help, violating OOW best-effort standard which requires troubleshooting even for unsupported devices.
Technical Accuracy
T1 Partially Met Technically accurate info conf 85%
Identified LED symptom and asked about ISP, but failed to gather model number, firmware, or WAN IP to determine root cause.
T2 Not Met Appropriate tools / resources used conf 95%
No tools used — did not direct customer to web UI, check firmware, or verify modem connection; relied solely on verbal LED descriptions.
T3 Not Met No misinformation conf 90%
Incorrectly stated that 'solid pink, purple or red' indicates setup mode — per KB, solid red indicates hardware/firmware failure, not setup.
Communication
C1 Partially Met Clear & professional language conf 85%
Maintained call control but included long silences, repetitive 'we will wait' statements, and failed to set clear expectations for resolution path.
C2 Partially Met Confirmed understanding conf 80%
Used formal 'sir' repeatedly but did not adapt language to customer’s urgency or simplify instructions during confusion.
Customer Ownership
O1 Not Met Ownership & empathy conf 95%
Abdicated responsibility by stating 'we can no longer provide assistance' due to end-of-support status, directing customer to ISP instead.
O2 Met Proactive follow-through conf 90%
Clearly promised email with reset instructions within 5–10 minutes and advised contacting ISP if red light persisted.
O3 Not Applicable Closure confirmation conf 100%
First contact; no prior case history to reference or maintain continuity with.
Escalation Judgment
E1 Not Applicable Correct escalation decision conf 100%
No escalation performed and none was warranted — issue was basic connectivity, resolvable at L1 with proper troubleshooting.
E2 Not Applicable Escalation prep & handoff conf 100%
No escalation occurred; therefore execution cannot be assessed.
Customer Experience
X1 Met Customer effort minimised conf 90%
Repeated sincere apologies: 'I really do apologize for the inconvenience' — acknowledged impact on customer’s work call.
X2 Partially Met Tone & rapport conf 80%
Maintained polite tone but used rigid, scripted responses without adjusting pace or empathy to match customer’s stress level.
X3 Partially Met Overall experience conf 85%
Customer had to perform multiple resets and was ultimately referred to ISP without agent exhausting all remote diagnostics first.

AT&T Comcast Optimum. All right. Again, sir, thank you so much for the information that you have provided. And by the way, did you reboot or restart the parent node prior calling us? Uh-huh. Mm-hmm. All right. However, you already contacted your, sorry, your Internet service provider and assured that their modem. I see. So for this one, sir, we might need to reset and reconfigure the nodes. However, sir, if the issue persists, like for example, even the nodes have already been reconfigured, but still they are not be able to detect or doesn't...
04:00

However sir, yes sir, however sir, I really do apologize sir, but uh the thing is, your device, this like the BLP000101010010001010101010101 which is the one that you currently have is already one of our end of support devices sir, so for this one, we can no longer provide assistance over the phone or chat. However sir, what I can do here on my end is I will be sending you a step-by-step instructions via email on how to properly reset and re-configure the nodes and rest assured that you will receive the email within 5 to 10 minutes. Yes, sir over the phone. I really do apologize.
05:00
Speaker 1
and if we can fix it, great, and then I'll, you know, in future, I'll follow the step-by-step guide, please. okay, thank you. Until I see what? A solid blue? That's right. All right, so just hold it down until I get a solid blue light, right? Well, hang on. So, now it's blinking red. Hang on. That's a very, oh, no, it's staying red. Wait, hang on. All right, it's not a bright blue. It's just kind of a faded blue. Is that right?
06:00
Speaker 2
Let's try this one. We will try to reset and reconfigure the main node, okay? So on your parent node, sir, kindly press and hold the reset button and do not release it until you will see the solid blue light. The solid blue light. Yes, sir. That's correct. That's correct, sir. [noise]. This is the solid blue light. Yes, sir. That's fine. You may now release the reset button and then we will observe the light on this [beep].
06:00
Speaker 1
Okay. [silence] Still the same faded blue.
07:00
Speaker 2
Current note, okay. Thank you. That's fine, sir. We will wait for the light on this parent node to turn to solid pink, purple or red for that indicates that it is already on setup mode. [silence]
07:00
Speaker 1
It's it always take a few minutes. It's not flashing anything. It's just kind of a faded blue. Uh-huh.
08:00
Speaker 2
uh yes sir I'll just confirm is uh the light on this parent note still flashing blue faded blue I see we will wait for another 30 seconds or a minute and if the issue persists uh we will press and hold the reset button okay alright Uh hi sir is the light on the eparent note still showing faded blue [silence]
08:00
Speaker 1
I said it is it's not a bright red. So I guess that would be more the pink that you were talking about. All right, one, two, three, four, five. Okay. Uh, not yet. It's still back it's not back to the pink. [silence]
09:00
Speaker 2
All right, that's great. So that means that the parent node is now on setup mode. So we will reconfigure this parent node using the five press setup method. Okay? So, on the parent node sir, just press the reset button, five times within five seconds. So it's like press release, press, yes sir. Five times. Thank you so much for that one. And kindly check if the light on the parent starting to flash. I see. Got that one, sir. [silence] [silence]
09:00
Speaker 1
1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Okay. No, it's flashing, it's flashing like orange. Okay, so right now it's still flashing orange. Okay.
11:00
Speaker 2
All right, thank you so much for that one. And then again, kindly check. Excellent. That's great to know, sir. That means that this parent node is now trying to detect the internet connection coming from your modem, okay? And hopefully the light on this parent node will turn back to solid blue or green. For that indicates that it is already online or working. However, again, sir, if the light on the parent will be like gone to solid red, that's the time that you really need to contact your Internet service provider, which is Optum, okay? and have them check if your internet service, sorry, internet source is, online or working. All right.
11:00
Speaker 1
it's flashing orange now it's kind of I guess that's kind of blue [silence] [silence] wait it just went to red now it's solid okay now it's solid it looks like solid red kinda pinkish I guess that's yeah I guess that's red
12:00
Speaker 2
Mhm. That's fine sir. We will wait for one to two minutes. [silence] Is it showing solid blue? Let's wait for another minute. Let's wait for another solid blue. Solid rest. I see ah See. [silence] [silence] Don't worry [silence] [silence]
12:00
Speaker 1
all right thank you thank you thank you bye bye by all right thank you bye
13:00
Speaker 2
We will wait for another minute and again if the light is still showing solid red after a minute, you may need to contact Optimum, okay? And again rest assured that you will still be receiving the email from me on how to properly reset and reconfigure the nodes. You're most welcome, sir. And I assume the light on the parent node is still showing solid red, correct? [silence] I see. So that means, sir, that the parent node is not detecting any internet connection coming from your modem. So again, sir, kindly contact Optimum for this one and rest assured that you will be receiving the email within five to ten minutes from me. Thank you. Thank you so much for your appreciation and you're most welcome, sir. Again, I really do apologize for the inconvenience and thank you so much for calling Linksys. Have a great day, sir. You're most welcome. Bye-for-now.
