V2 Grader Summary

The agent took ownership and correctly identified the extender as the issue source but failed to resolve it due to incomplete troubleshooting, lack of tool use, and incorrect technical claims about EOL status and flashing being the only option. Communication, call control, and customer experience were poor, with no empathy or clarity in next steps. The issue remained unresolved.

V1 Case Analysis

Customer reports RE7350 extender drops Wi-Fi connection after speed tests. Agent recommended firmware flash via extender.linksys.com and possible Amazon return if unresolved.

Troubleshooting Steps
  • Confirmed solid blue LED on extender
  • Compared speed test results between router and extender
  • Accessed extender web interface (extender.linksys.com)
  • Checked firmware version (1.0.04.246)
  • Identified device as EOL
Key Observations
  • Agent correctly identified the RE7350 model and confirmed it is EOL with outdated firmware.
  • No basic troubleshooting steps (reboot, reset, power cycle) were performed before recommending firmware flash.
  • Agent did not verify warranty status despite clear purchase date (June 24th) placing it within standard 1-year coverage.
  • Communication was inefficient with long silences, filler words, and lack of clear step-by-step guidance.
  • Agent did not confirm whether the firmware flash was completed or successful, leaving resolution unverified.
  • The URL extender.linksys.com is correct per the KB for range extender web interface access.
Positive Highlights
  • Correctly isolated the issue to the extender by validating customer's speed test comparison between router and extender.
  • Successfully accessed and verified firmware version via extender web interface (extender.linksys.com) at [29:00].
  • Accurately identified RE7350 as EOL and recommended firmware flash as a valid next step per KB guidance.
  • Requested and obtained purchase receipt to support potential return process.
  • Provided correct next-step path: firmware update followed by Amazon return if unresolved.
Agent Errors / Gaps
  • Initially failed to capture correct model number; required clarification from customer.
  • Skipped essential basic troubleshooting: no power cycle, factory reset, or wired test performed.
  • Did not confirm warranty status or eligibility for support despite having purchase date.
  • Failed to verify outcome of firmware flash or provide clear instructions for performing it.
  • Poor call control with excessive silence and filler, reducing clarity and efficiency.

V2 Indicator Ratings

Resolution
R1 Not Met Issue actually resolved conf 95%
Agent did not resolve the issue; only suggested firmware flash and return without confirmation of fix or working solution.
R2 Partially Met Diagnostic thoroughness conf 90%
Agent identified symptom and isolated to extender but skipped basic troubleshooting (reboot, reset, placement, DHCP check) before jumping to firmware flash.
R3 Met Correct resolution path conf 90%
Agent correctly identified RE7350 as likely out-of-warranty/EOL and offered best-effort firmware flash before advising return, aligning with OOW standard.
Technical Accuracy
T1 Partially Met Technically accurate info conf 80%
Agent noted connection drops and checked firmware version but asked few diagnostic questions about placement, interference, or DHCP; logical sequence incomplete.
T2 Not Met Appropriate tools / resources used conf 85%
Agent relied solely on customer's verbal report of firmware version without guiding verification via admin UI or using remote tools; skipped tool use that was appropriate and necessary.
T3 Not Met No misinformation conf 95%
Agent claimed RE7350 is EOL and that manual flashing is the only troubleshooting step, but KB contains no such claim; this is materially incorrect technical guidance.
Communication
C1 Not Met Clear & professional language conf 90%
Long silences, unclear transitions, filler words, and weak framing; agent lost control and failed to guide interaction effectively.
C2 Not Met Confirmed understanding conf 90%
Agent used technical terms like 'flash' and 'EOL' without explanation, did not adapt language or check understanding, and communicated poorly to customer's level.
Customer Ownership
O1 Met Ownership & empathy conf 95%
Agent owned the case from start to finish, collected all required info, created a ticket, and stayed on the call without unnecessary transfer.
O2 Partially Met Proactive follow-through conf 85%
Agent outlined next steps (flash firmware, retest, return if fails) but gave no timeline or concrete follow-up commitment; customer left uncertain.
O3 Not Applicable Closure confirmation conf 100%
This was the first contact; no prior case history to reference or maintain continuity with.
Escalation Judgment
E1 Not Applicable Correct escalation decision conf 100%
No escalation was performed and none was warranted; issue was within agent's scope (EOL extender with potential firmware fix).
E2 Not Applicable Escalation prep & handoff conf 100%
No escalation was performed.
Customer Experience
X1 Not Met Customer effort minimised conf 90%
Agent offered minimal empathy, only procedural statements, and did not acknowledge customer's frustration or inconvenience.
X2 Not Met Tone & rapport conf 90%
Agent did not adjust tone, pace, or style to customer's needs; conversation was disjointed with long pauses and inconsistent engagement.
X3 Not Met Overall experience conf 90%
Customer had to repeat information (email, receipt) and agent did not streamline steps; unnecessary pauses and avoidable friction increased effort.

5-0. 41, P as in Paul, 10 M as in mouse. 1, 5, E as in epsilon. 01-3-2-8. 2-h right. Correct. Correct. Xfinity. Uh, I purchased [silence]
21:00
Speaker 2
Uh, internet. Uh, providers. um, explain a bit. And while the system is validating the intel status of the device, how may I help you today, sir?
21:00
Speaker 1
Just an extender. Um, and, uh, just, uh, just got it today. Um, I was testing it. Um, it keeps on dropping the connection. So I connected it. It's within the range. I connected it using the browser option. It said that it was actually right within the right range, actually on the closer side, rather than on the farther side. And then I ran, started running some speed tests. And sure enough, after a few speed tests, it would keep on dropping the, uh, the connection. So I would go to the actual router, um, and see if the router disconnected, or the, and the modem disconnected, and there was no disconnection. I ran the speed test again, just directly on the original connection to the router, and it was fine. And then when I went back to the, um, to the extended range off the extender, it again drops. So I pulled it out and, uh, I pulled it out. [silence] Out and I, um, and I ran the, Tessagam from the same extended here, uh without the router, no drop. so it does seem to be isolated to the device that I purchased. It was blue solid. It was blue solid. I pulled it, I pulled it out, and so I'm, I'm, it was solid blue, yeah. It was solid blue when I was running the test,
22:00
Speaker 2
Okay. [silence] Oh, okay. [silence] I see. [silence] Well, [silence] actually, [silence] that's a good [silence] um, [silence] um, [silence] isolation. [silence] You made it close to the router [silence] and test the speed [silence] to the extender [silence] and then [silence] uh, [silence] compared with the main network there. [silence] And, [silence] um, [silence] if [silence] that's the case, [silence] um, [silence] what we're gonna check [silence] there [silence] on the extender, [silence] is the firmware. [silence]
23:00
Speaker 1
Yes.
24:00
Speaker 2
Now, when you set this up Albert, I'm sure you've seen the setup wizard, okay? And along with it, you were able to create a router password for the extender, sir? Do you remember that part? Okay. Because we can access the interface of that extender, verify what's the current firmware, and either we can automatically update that one or we can manually update. And one question though, is there a computer, a laptop that we can use, sir? Okay. Now, it says they, uh, just want to inform you about this, um, uh, you said you just got this today, sir?
24:00
Speaker 1
Amazon yes online yeah let me see when I purchase like give me a second I didn't go back uh let's see June 24th
25:00
Speaker 2
Amazon. Do you still have the receipt there? Hmm. Okay. Now, here's what, I'm sure you can open up the Amazon account so I'm going to send you an email, and one second. Oh, by the way, do you know the date they purchase? Is it? June 24th. okay, so um give me a moment about to create the ticket. [silence] all right ready Senate and um yep yep
25:00
Speaker 1
not received yet you send it to Albert.Retail at gmail.com. Got it. Got it, got it. Please send the receipt. Uh, you want the Amazon receipt? Okay. let me see. Just screenshot. All right. This is sure gift for sure. Okay, Fahad. uh, Kamil. Actually, I need, I need,
28:00
Speaker 2
That's the one. Yeah. Albert.retail@gmail.com. uh yes sir Uh-huh. Yes.
28:00
Speaker 1
I ordered a couple things at the same time. Let me go ahead and blackout the other thing. Yeah, I just went on, also on the extender, the extender.linksys. And it seems to say that the firmware is 1.0.04.246 up-to-date. Said, if that's the extender,
29:00
Speaker 2
Um-hum. No, well, while you're doing there, I'm going to try to look for the, uh, firmware for this. Okay? Um-hum. Is that on the, uh, extender and stuff, or you went to the Linksys web site to check that, third?
29:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah, I just did. You told me to do it. I plugged it back in, and I started working on it.
30:00
Speaker 2
so that means you were able to access the interface of the extender. um. Okay, okay. well uh here's what's okay good's uh I'm about to inform you and you are about to send me the receipt, okay. Um your isolation was correct. Okay, you were able to set up the extender uh and you uh encountered uh the uh the setup process where it measures that it's in a good distance. And you also ran a speed test to the extender comparing this directly to Linx's router. And I'm suspecting it's something to do with the firmware. I'm looking at on the Linx's website right now. And um that's the firmware that's on the Linx's website. Now, uh this one sets your expectation okay, this RE7350 is part of the uh EOL. Alright, [silence] what we can do for the range extender right now is are really flash, [silence] which we can upload to the interface. [silence] And then once that's successfully successful, [silence] and then we're going to run the stefa test again, which was between the extender and your wireless router. And then once that's successful, [silence] that's the only trouble shoot troubleshooting that we can do, uh outward actually. [silence] Okay. [silence] If it's still the same, uh, my only advice is um return this back to Amazon. [silence] So, but let's try that route, okay? [silence] And, I'm waiting for the uh, I think I have it, the receipt. [silence] Alright, I see it. [silence] And
