V2 Grader Summary

The agent failed to conduct proper diagnostics, provided technically inaccurate guidance, and abandoned ownership by pushing paid support and self-help email. No resolution was achieved, and the customer was left with a non-functional router. The interaction lacked empathy, clarity, and technical competence, warranting an auto-zero for discourtesy.

V1 Case Analysis

MR9000 solid red, no WAN. Incorrect 5-press reset advised. Suggested MAC cloning without verification. Offered paid support and emailed self-help. No resolution achieved.

Troubleshooting Steps
  • Asked about LED behavior and port lights
  • Incorrectly suggested 5-press reset (not applicable to MR9000)
  • Suggested MAC address cloning without confirming ISP requirement
  • Recommended rebooting modem and router
  • Offered paid support and promised email with self-help steps
Key Observations
  • Agent incorrectly recommended 5-press reset for MR9000, which does not support this feature (transcript [02:00])
  • MAC cloning suggested without confirming ISP uses MAC-based authentication (transcript [10:00])
  • Agent collected serial number phonetically but did not confirm model or warranty lookup result definitively (transcript [07:00])
  • Agent acknowledged device is out of warranty and cannot be replaced, limiting resolution options (transcript [11:00])
  • No validation of internet connectivity or router state after any step was attempted
Positive Highlights
  • Agent correctly identified the product as MR9000 and associated it with Velop family
  • Collected serial number accurately from phonetic input (32A10M2BA02488)
  • Recognized that green/yellow port lights indicate physical link is present
  • Offered free self-help email as fallback after paid support declined
  • Acknowledged limitations of support for out-of-warranty hardware
Agent Errors / Gaps
  • Advised 5-press reset on MR9000 at [02:00], which is not a supported recovery method for this model — this is a serious accuracy failure per KB
  • Suggested MAC cloning at [10:00] without confirming the ISP uses MAC filtering — premature and potentially misleading advice
  • Failed to confirm WAN cable connection or perform basic isolation (e.g., direct PC-to-modem test) before suggesting advanced fixes
  • Did not verify whether the router ever reached solid blue or attempted app-based setup recovery
  • Did not clarify whether the customer could access router web UI or confirm firmware status
  • Allowed call to end without confirming any outcome or next operational step beyond email

V2 Indicator Ratings

Resolution

Speaker 1
Oh, good evening. How are you? Doing well. Thank you. Uh, I have a Linksys MR9000 that I just can't seem to get set back up after having a network drop this afternoon and I've gone through everything as far as the reset and all of that. I'm just hoping you can give me maybe a last ditch effort to try to restore connectivity here before I have to be new one. It is solid. Yeah, it is solid purple and I'm able to reset it and it's
01:00
Speaker 2
Thank you for calling Nexus May. How can I help you? I'm good, thank you for asking. I hope you too. Okay, for remote access, we don't have any more for that router. And the light status of that one right now, is it solid purple? What's the color? [silence]
01:00
Speaker 1
It goes through the blinking red and then the solid red and shuts off. It's just that whenever I try to, I try to find the router through my Linksys app, it just, it never connects and it says that I'm, I must not have my ethernet cable connected to the internet port, in which I do. So, I'm, I'm wondering if it's just not recognizing that port. [silence]
02:00
Speaker 2
Probably, but if there is a green and yellow light there, blinking, and a steady green light, that means the port is still being detected. You can do instead a five-prest. Reset, press, release, press, release, press, release, five times on your router in order for it to be set up immediately. So it should be done, quick 5 press within 5 seconds. Press, release, press, release, press, release. You can actually do that to your router. Reset button.
02:00
Speaker 1
The port itself is blinking amber and a solid green,
03:00
Speaker 2
It should blink purple after. And then blink in red.
03:00
Speaker 1
It's blinking purple again. And it went blue and now it's a solid red. It's gone blue to red again.
04:00
Speaker 2
u h-ha-t-cha-tcha-t-cha. Check your Wi-Fi list if you have their link, just set up Wi-Fi name. [silence]
04:00
Speaker 1
It's solid red. Let me see if I can turn because I have my machine right here. I have a Linksys setup 931. Okay.
05:00
Speaker 2
it's solid blue? And just check your Wi-Fi, if it's still having no Internet. Check if you can connect to its Wi-Fi at least, which is developed set up. That's actually your Wi-Fi. The password is on a sticker underneath.
05:00
Speaker 1
verifying and connecting. I do whenever you're ready. Are you ready? Okay, 32, Alpha. 10, Mike, 2, Bravo, Alpha, 0, 2, 488.
06:00
Speaker 2
May I have the serial number of your mobile device, please? Yeah, go ahead.
06:00
Speaker 1
yes ma'am 9 000 I've had it probably two years now yep [silence]
07:00
Speaker 2
now that's it three two alpha one zero Mike to Bravo alpha zero two four eight eight okay let me just check that one here what's the model number again aider okay because our system cannot see it here but you own that device less than a year or more than uh okay I was able to pull up a record here under Brandon Scott Stephen four at gmail.com account and it shows here that it's indeed it's offline and it was first connected Yeah, you're not going to be charged for this. I just check if this router is just need to be set up. But it turns out, even if it's already set up, it still ended up having a red light, which means that this MR 9,000 is no longer communicating to the modem. The port is still working since you can see a green light and a yellow light on the Internet port. It just really needs to be a further check. Right now, is it still solid red? What's the color? Okay. And prior to calling Ash brand, did you already try to restart both device the proper way? Okay. she had a static IP on the modem, so he's going to be available for a quick connect but he didn’t have
07:00
Speaker 1
I'm completing that now.
09:00
Speaker 2
you can try that one okay. and I can just stay on the line 10 minutes max by the way for out of warranty routers, not unless if you'll proceed to our paid connect option, but that will cost you $15 for just one-time troubleshooting and but I can send you email and that email is for free. email contains instructions on how you can troubleshooting instructions for no internet connection. and that will be for self-help.
09:00
Speaker 1
and I'll go through the reboot process. And then what suggestions do you have if that does not work? I do. I'm actually an IT professional, so I'm set up with all the gear. Okay.
10:00
Speaker 2
Aye, aye, aye. Sure. If ever, then, that means there's something wrong already with the router. Uh, it will be really a great help if you have a desktop computer or a laptop that can be wired directly to your modem. Do you have a computer that can be hardwired? Okay, that's even better. You can do MAC clone, if you're familiar with that. Getting the MAC address of the modem by connecting the computer wired, uh bypassing the link stick, like connecting your computer wire directly to the modem and get its physical address or MAC address if the computer is online, okay? Because you'll have then to clone it to our router.
10:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Do you also have any adversements for replacement for this particular one, for those MR-9,000? Okay. That makes sense. Yep. [silence]
11:00
Speaker 2
And our router's dashboard there's a Mac clone option so that the router will think, I mean the modem will think that it's still the computer wired to it and it will give it's internet to the router. That's actually the last troubleshooting doing Mac clone. Alright, I'll just send the rest of the instruction to your email, okay? For that one, since we don't have routers anymore from our end, it's all on our resellers, we can only replace those routers that are still in warranty and then for discounts like that it's already on our resellers, it's already up to them. Seems we don't have routers up there yet, even on our website, there's no add to cart as well. [silence]
11:00
Speaker 1
Okay, awesome. No ma'am, I appreciate your help. Thanks so much. You as well. By.
12:00
Speaker 2
option anymore. Right, do you have any other questions? Uh huh. You're welcome. You take care of it. Bye for now. Bye bye.
