V2 Grader Summary

The agent failed to resolve the issue or confirm connectivity, provided materially incorrect technical guidance about wireless router-modem connection, and shifted responsibility to ISP without performing basic troubleshooting. No resolution was achieved, ownership was lacking, and the customer was left to pursue the issue elsewhere.

V1 Case Analysis

Customer reports no internet after installing a new Spectrum modem. Router model AE6350 (SN: 14W10J0B425111) shows online but no connectivity. Agent misidentified model as 'MQ9', provided incorrect Wi-Fi broadcasting information, and incorrectly advised contacting Spectrum without verifying Ethernet connection, WAN settings, or modem type. No valid troubleshooting performed.

Troubleshooting Steps
  • Verified router model (AE6350) and serial number (14W10J0B425111).
  • Checked system status (router shown online).
  • Asked about Wi-Fi network names and modem type.
Key Observations
  • Agent repeatedly misidentified the router model as 'MQ9' instead of AE6350 ([12:00], [13:00]).
  • Agent provided factually incorrect information: claimed the AE6350 only broadcasts one Wi-Fi network, contradicting KB documentation ([13:00]).
  • No basic WAN troubleshooting steps were performed (cable check, power cycle, DHCP verification).
  • Agent failed to determine if the Spectrum device is a modem-router combo, which is necessary to diagnose double-NAT issues.
  • Call ended with an incorrect hand-off to ISP without validating router configuration or connectivity.
Positive Highlights
  • Agent collected the serial number and confirmed the correct model number (AE6350).
  • Agent checked the router's online status in the system, confirming it was reachable.
Agent Errors / Gaps
  • Incorrectly referred to the router as 'MQ9' multiple times instead of AE6350 ([12:00], [13:00]).
  • Provided factually inaccurate technical advice: stated the AE6350 only broadcasts one Wi-Fi network, contradicting KB documentation that EA Series routers support dual-band with separate SSIDs ([13:00]).
  • Failed to guide the customer through essential WAN troubleshooting: no instruction to verify Ethernet cable connection, power cycle devices, or check WAN settings/DHCP status.
  • Did not determine whether the Spectrum modem is a pure modem or modem-router combo, which is critical for diagnosing double-NAT or conflicting DHCP issues.
  • Prematurely concluded the issue was with Spectrum without validating the router's configuration or physical connection, leading to an incorrect closure.

V2 Indicator Ratings

Resolution
R1 Not Met Issue actually resolved conf 97%
Agent never confirmed router configuration or internet connectivity; closed call advising customer to contact Spectrum without verifying resolution.
R2 Not Met Diagnostic thoroughness conf 95%
Only minimal troubleshooting performed (serial verification, status check); no reset, WAN check, or configuration guidance provided despite clear need after modem change.
R3 Not Met Correct resolution path conf 93%
Agent dismissed Linksys responsibility based on unverified ISP modem-router claim without confirming router configuration or performing best-effort troubleshooting for out-of-warranty scenario.
Technical Accuracy
T1 Partially Met Technically accurate info conf 90%
Agent identified symptom (no internet) and hypothesized cause (modem change) but failed to ask diagnostic questions about WAN, IP, or perform root cause isolation.
T2 Met Appropriate tools / resources used conf 92%
Agent used internal system to verify router online status appropriately; no additional tools were necessary or indicated for this scenario.
T3 Not Met No misinformation conf 96%
Agent claimed EA6350 connects to modem wirelessly and was 'never connected to an internet cable' — materially incorrect per KB; EA6350 requires wired WAN connection.
Communication
C1 Partially Met Clear & professional language conf 88%
Agent opened call but lost control with repetitive phrasing, long silences, and unclear transitions; did not structure troubleshooting or set clear expectations.
C2 Partially Met Confirmed understanding conf 87%
Agent used simple terms but repeated confusing statements (e.g., misstating model as MQ9 despite correction), showing poor adaptation to customer's level.
Customer Ownership
O1 Not Met Ownership & empathy conf 95%
Agent prematurely shifted responsibility to Spectrum without attempting factory reset or configuration walkthrough, breaking ownership.
O2 Not Met Proactive follow-through conf 93%
Only next step was 'call Spectrum' — no timeline, follow-up, or commitment to assist further; customer left without actionable Linksys path.
O3 Not Applicable Closure confirmation conf 100%
First contact; no prior case history or handoff occurred.
Escalation Judgment
E1 Not Applicable Correct escalation decision conf 100%
No escalation performed and none warranted; agent correctly assessed issue as ISP-related after basic checks.
E2 Not Applicable Escalation prep & handoff conf 100%
No escalation occurred; therefore execution cannot be evaluated.

Speaker 1
I had to install a new Spectrum modem yesterday and, uh, I'm having trouble connecting to my internet and we think it's the router. Um, when I run the diagnostics, it says, um, that there's no internet. The router's not recognizing the internet. So I could use some help. [silence] Um, yeah, hold on one minute. I gotta find it. Um, all right, wait a minute. Okay. So, the serial number is uh, one for y 100 J as in Josh, 0 B as in boy 425 111.
07:00
Speaker 2
I'm sorry to hear about that ma'am. May I have the serial number of your Linksys router? [silence] All right.
07:00
Speaker 1
Yes, yes. I don't know. I think this is the only router. Say that again. OK, I don't see that on oh wait. Yes, now I see it. I took a picture of the router, because it's in the basement. I'm in the kitchen. So yeah, I can see that.
08:00
Speaker 2
Let me verify the serial number, again, the serial number is 14 W for yellow, 10 J for John, 0 B for Bravo, 42-51 for 11. Is that correct? Alright. And your only have this Linksys router or do you have any other nodes? Alright, let me see. So your router model is AE6350. That's the model. AE6350. That's the model of your router.
08:00
Speaker 1
yeah okay i can confirm that yes yes Yes? carry Tailor carry with C A R R I E. cat. C as in CAT. Yes. Yes? the account is under my husband's name. Does that matter? Brad Taylor. [silence]
09:00
Speaker 2
So that's a classic router from Linksys. It's from E-Series. Before we proceed. can I have your name first, ma'am? Carrie? Z as in zebra. Carrie. Carrie Taylor. All right, thank you, Carrie. And your email address, Carrie? Let me check. It doesn't matter since since it's your husband. So since it's your husband.
09:00
Speaker 1
Kuno Carr. Yes. Yes, that is. Yeah. [silence] No, it's a new modem from my internet provider. Yes. Yes. Spectrum.
10:00
Speaker 2
account. The one showing on our system, the email is b. taylor atcorncar.com. That is all right. I put it in. You mentioned Kerry that you have a new modem from your internet service provider or it's just a new internet provider? All right. So it's the same internet provider you were using before your router or got disconnected. It's just the modem that changed. What was the name of your internet provider? All right. Kerry, since it's only a change of modem, you didn't change your internet service provider. [silence]
10:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so here, here's what's interesting. So I do have internet connection. My husband had four Wi-Fi options in our house. So, two of the Wi-Fi options I can see is available to me. It's the Wi-Fi options in another part of the house that are not available to me.
11:00
Speaker 2
it's still spectrum. So I think uh you will have to do uh reconfiguration on your router because of the change of modem, so your router was set up previously with your previous modem, so that's why you could not uh get any internet connection. as your router was set up with your previous modem. So you will have to do a reset on your router and do a reconfiguration or like setting it up again. but. Yes.
11:00
Speaker 1
So do I still need to do a uh router reset? Yes, yes. Yes. Yep. But in order to use my printer that's in my basement, I need to act, uh access the basement Wi-Fi, which I don't see as an option anymore. Yes.
12:00
Speaker 2
You mean to say you can still uh see the Wi-Fi name of your router? The previous is it the Wi-Fi name of your router? And when you connect to it, were you able to connect or access internet? And Hello. What you want to use the basement Wi-Fi. Uh I I'm getting confused. Uh Carrie, you only have one Linksys router and that is the MQ9. [silence]
12:00
Speaker 1
Yes. No, it is not. He he named it something different. Um, so I you don't think that I would have two routers in my house, would you? [silence] Upstairs. [silence]
13:00
Speaker 2
and it'd 62 50 right? So there should only one Wi-Fi RF name or network that is being broadcast by your links RF router which is links S 25 people one. that's your Wi-Fi network name right? Okay so No because you're saying that you have two Wi-Fi name a Wi-Fi from the basement and then Wi-Fi from your so that's where I'm getting confused. is your maybe your spectrum is a modem router type. If your spectrum is a modem router type then that could explain why you're having two Wi-Fi names. It means that you, that your framework is, stretching dh Brigada, transforming network name and their spectrum out is also broadcasting another vertical network name. Because since you only have one links to father, it should be only broadcasting one Wi-Fi network name, which is the Lynx 25 mobile one. But since you add it, that name, then the one that you customized, that should be the only one Wi-Fi network that should be broadcasting. Now if you see that there's a Wi-Fi or another Wi-Fi network name, it could possibly be the spectrum routers sky fire name. But it's your talking about or you cannot connect to your wi-fi when you're on the basement. Then that's another thing. But you've mentioned that there are Wi-Fi available.
13:00
Speaker 1
So, I've been on the phone with Spectrum. Yeah, I I agree. So my problem is my husband is not here to ask these questions. And so I'm trying to, um, figure this out on my own. Um, so
15:00
Speaker 2
My My My Adding in the basement. I don't know why my name is. That's where I'm getting crazy. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Right. So you have to ask Spectrum if their modem is it a modem or type only bag or is it a modem router type because if it's a modem router type, then it only means that your Spectrum modem also broadcasts a Wi-Fi network name. But if it's just a modern bags, then only your Linksys router can broadcast a Wi-Fi connection because that's the main function of our Linksys router. It broadcasts Wi-Fi internet connection.
15:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Okay. Okay. So the router is online. Okay. Well, that's because I've connected it with the ethernet cord. So my router is connected to the modem. [silence]
16:00
Speaker 2
[silence] because it's showing here on our system that your Linksys router EA6350 status is online. So it's connected. [silence] Mhm. [silence] You can access it. [silence] [silence] Mhm. [silence] Your router is online. [silence] If it's disconnected, it should show the status is offline, but it's showing here that the status is online. [silence] So it means it's still connected to your Spectrum modem. [silence] Despite being [silence] [silence] Mhm. [silence] Yes, it's, uh, yes, uh, it should be because your router will not broadcast a Wi-Fi or your internet without connecting it to your Spectrum [silence]
16:00
Speaker 1
So, up until yesterday, my modem was in the basement of my house. It was not connected to the router by an Ethernet cord because my router was two floors above the basement. Yes. Correct. Correct.
17:00
Speaker 2
modem. That's the purpose why when you bought the road, there's and a cable on the back when you bought it. Because your router should be connected to your Spectrum model, because it will get the internet from your spectrum model and then the router will then broadcast it, your Wi-Fi through the whole your house. That's the function of the router. So, uh, that was your previous setup. Your router was never connected to an internet cable.
17:00
Speaker 1
Okay. So the the spectrum modem router type is broadcasting a Wi-Fi name. Okay.
18:00
Speaker 2
your spectrum modem is a modem router type, which means it also broadcasts a wifi network name, and your Linksys router was connected to your spectrum wirelessly. So that could be the reason why you didn't need an ethernet cable connecting your router to your spectrum. Because your spectrum modem is a router type also. So it also, in a way, broadcasts a wifi network name on its own. Yes. And since you could not connect it's on the basement. That you could not connect and your Spectrum modem is in the basement, then you need to contact your Spectrum about it. Since your Linksys router upstairs, you can connect to it with its wifi name. Then, you can connect your other router to Spectrum.
18:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Alright. I'm not sure this is total totally helpful, but I will call Spectrum back. Okay. Thank you very much. Have a good day. Bye bye.
19:00
Speaker 2
There's no issues with your router. it could only be the spectrum modem router. alright. alright. alright. alright. alright. you're welcome. thank you for calling yeah thank you for calling linksys and take care kerry. have a great time. bye.
