V2 Grader Summary

The agent failed to perform any troubleshooting, dismissed the customer due to out-of-warranty status, and provided no actionable guidance or empathy. Despite the device being legacy, the agent violated the OOW standard by refusing all assistance, resulting in a complete failure to progress toward resolution.

V1 Case Analysis

EA6200 router with no internet; modem confirmed working. Agent stated support expired and suggested upgrade without performing troubleshooting or offering self-help resources. Call ended with customer frustration and no resolution.

Troubleshooting Steps
  • Requested serial number
  • Requested model number
Key Observations
  • Agent did not perform any standard troubleshooting (reboot, WAN status check, cable verification, firmware check) despite clear customer need and KB guidance.
  • Agent failed to offer self-help resources or escalation paths, violating support protocol for out-of-warranty devices.
  • Agent lacked empathy and provided no call control, allowing customer frustration to escalate without de-escalation.
  • Call ended without operational closure, leaving the customer with no actionable next steps.
Positive Highlights
  • Correctly identified the product model (EA6200) and confirmed it as a legacy device
  • Accurately stated that warranty and technical support for the EA6200 ended in 2023
  • Collected both serial number and model number from the customer
Agent Errors / Gaps
  • Did not follow prescribed troubleshooting flow for WAN connectivity issues (e.g., power cycle, cable check, WAN status verification) — KB reference: universal_isp_modem_diagnostics.md
  • Failed to offer self-help resources (e.g., KB articles) despite issue being within self-service scope — KB reference: universal_isp_modem_diagnostics.md
  • Did not escalate or offer paid support path, violating support eligibility protocol for out-of-warranty devices — KB reference: universal_support_contacts.md
  • Incorrectly implied no remote assistance could be provided, contradicting KB guidance on self-service support for legacy devices — KB reference: universal_support_contacts.md
  • Lack of empathy and failure to de-escalate frustration, leading to customer disengagement

01:00
Speaker 2

02:00
Speaker 1
There's a thing here that says MOTDE pass in foreign language. Is that the the one you want? [silence] No. I'm I'm I'm looking at the sticker underneath where the serial number is. There's an MAC address, and then there's a long number. Oh. Okay. E A6200. I was looking in the wrong place. Okay. Sorry.
03:00

03:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Well. Well. We don't have internet. And like I said, I called Spectrum. We went through the whole process of reb booting everything and this and that. They checked online and said the modem was fine, but they can't check the router. And but we're not getting, I've got a ring camera that's not responding. I've got uh programs on the computer that aren't responding to internet requests and and checking and checking the Wi-Fi, the speed. The speed's fine. The cell phone is is just getting the edge. So I really don't know. Internet is just not not there. [silence]
04:00
Speaker 2
support warranty technical support for that one already ended year 2023. uh we don't support this kind of router anymore. We don't have the tools anymore from our end. But it doesn't mean that this router will no longer work. It will still work. It's just that the support for this one already ended, year 2023. And if you're having trouble with um. The routers. Yeah. Um you have smart devices.
04:00
Speaker 1
It says no internet connection. And yet we know the modem is good. We've checked this. The wiring going... from the modem... into the into the router. And the only thing I can think... Well ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, I... I can't... I can't access the internet on my phone unless I have Wi-Fi through the router. Well, I'm not... No, I have a different service for my cell phone and data would cost me a lot of money to go to a website and play around. You... you're telling me you can't help me over the phone?
05:00
Speaker 2
Mm-hmm. If your modem is working and the linksys is not that only means our linksys router can't recognize anymore the internet available from your modem. If you want to troubleshoot this router is still you can visit our website if you have data on your phone linksys Linksys.com, we have AI. Mm-hmm. Uh, what I mean is data cellular data on your phone. [silence]
05:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so, okay, just the bottom line is you can't help me. Okay, well if you can't help me, goodbye.
06:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, it's much better if you can upgrade your router instead, since you have smart devices. This router you're using, it still has the old wireless standard. So, you can, probably you can make that one online, but still, this router is already outdated. Much better if you can have your router upgraded. Yes, unfortunately. Bye-bye.
