V2 Grader Summary

The agent achieved a technical resolution by enabling MAC clone, restoring internet connectivity. However, the interaction began with an inappropriate push for paid support, violating the expectation to provide best-effort troubleshooting regardless of warranty status. Technical accuracy was mostly sound but marred by an incorrect default password claim. Customer experience was poor due to lack of empathy, tone adaptation, and unnecessary effort imposed.

V1 Case Analysis

MR9610 solid red LED, no internet. Wired connection to PC, accessed 192.168.1.1, enabled MAC clone. Wi-Fi restored. Paid support fee processed without warranty verification.

Troubleshooting Steps
  • Power-cycled modem and router, established wired connection from modem to router to PC.
  • Accessed router admin UI via http://192.168.1.1 using default 'admin' password.
  • Navigated to Connectivity > Internet Settings, enabled MAC Clone using 'Clone My PC's MAC'.
  • Confirmed internet connectivity restored via customer validation.
Key Observations
  • Agent collected full credit card details over the phone without confirming warranty status or secure handling process.
  • MAC cloning successfully resolved the internet connectivity issue.
  • Agent repeated instructions and talked over the customer, affecting communication clarity.
  • No warranty verification was performed despite eligibility determining support path.
Positive Highlights
  • Correctly diagnosed WAN connectivity issue and applied MAC cloning per KB.
  • Guided customer through wired setup and admin UI navigation effectively.
  • Explained 2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz bands clearly when asked.
  • Provided proper boot sequence guidance for future outages.
Agent Errors / Gaps
  • Critical protocol breach: collected credit card details over unsecured channel without confirming warranty status.
  • Failed to verify warranty status before offering paid support, violating support eligibility protocol.
  • Did not confirm secure recording pause before collecting payment information, creating PCI compliance risk.
  • Repeated troubleshooting steps unnecessarily and talked over customer during explanation.

So, I I do have internet, I was able to verify, but the router is causing a problem and it's um, I guess it's going out and we don't have internet throughout the house because of the brother. Uh, yes. Okay, just a second. Okay, the serial number is
01:00
Speaker 2
Thank you for calling Nexus. This is May, how I can I help you, okay. Can you have the serial number that's on a sticker underneath your link? Let me just check first,
02:00
Speaker 1
be two L two zero, M as in Mary, one one B as in boy, zero seven, eight six eight. Correct. Yes. Model number is M as in Mary, R as in Romeo, nine six one zero, V as in Victor.
03:00
Speaker 2
Okay. That's, uh, 32 Lemo 20 Mike 11 Boy 07868. Okay. Let me just check the warranty of your device here. one second. And you only have your one linksys router, right? No extenders. Um, there's no data here upon checking, uh, based in the serial number you provided. Can you tell me instead, the model number? What's the model number that you can see there?
03:00
Speaker 1
There's only one and it's normally blue when it's working and red when it's not. I unplugged it just now. Would you like me to plug it back in? Okay. [silence] Okay. [silence] Okay.
04:00
Speaker 2
Okay, MR 9610. and the light indicator in front, what's the colors?
04:00
Speaker 1
OK. OK. It's. So, before I unplugged it, it was blinking red, and now it's back to uh blinking red. so it goes to blue, it starts off at blue, and then it starts to blink red, now it's a solid red. Okay. Let's see. it's still, yeah, it still pops up and it says checking the quality, so that network does show up but it's not connecting.
05:00
Speaker 2
OK, check your, Wi-Fi if you can still see it, the Wi-Fi that you used to have, if it's still available on the Wi-Fi list. You can go to the settings of your phone, go to Wi-Fi. OK. So you can still see the one that you created. You are not connected to it at all.
06:00
Speaker 1
Right, we cannot connect. Correct. It just showed me no internet connection. Let me see. Let me try it again just to be sure. Let me just double check because I want to get the message correct. It says checking the quality of internet connection. And then connected without internet is what it's telling me on my phone. Connected without internet. And then it's telling me on my computer, the Wi-Fi network could not.
07:00
Speaker 2
you can't connect to that Wi-Fi at all, right? Because there are some they can still connect but it shows no internet after. In your case, you cannot connect at all. Is it showing unable to connect? Okay, so you're connected to it but no internet. That's the message below. Am I right? Okay.
07:00
Speaker 1
don't be joined. I do have a computer that I can hardware. Yes. Yes, I can. I, It's my computer. Okay. Oh, right. I, I did that. Uh-huh, I did that to make sure that it wasn't the internet and I've already spoken to my um cable
08:00
Speaker 2
[silence] Okay. I think you need to reset already this router. You don't have a computer that can be hardwired. There's none? That's actually perfect. You can bypass the links router instead and have your computer wired directly to the main source, your modem and check if you can search online. If not, you can inform your Internet service provider that you're directly connected to their box but having no internet so that they can send back the signal to your end. You can wired you can totally bypass actually the links router just to connect your computer wired directly to the modem.
08:00
Speaker 1
Company and so everything was good on that end. So we do have internet, but we don't have Wi-Fi because of the router. I'm sorry. Yes, it's spectrum. It wasn't too long ago. Maybe maybe a year. Yeah, maybe a year ago.
09:00
Speaker 2
Is it spectrum? Your internet service. Is it spectrum? Who's your internet provider? [silence] Okay. Do you think that you've already uh gone through that part? So that only means it's uh it's the lynx's device that needs to be fixed. And just to reiterate your device warranty. You had this router since what year? Can you still remember? Uh, you have a receipt. I will then update here the warranty. If you still have the receipt showing it was purchased less than a year, I can go ahead and further support you with your concern. If there's none, I can send email for free. You just need to follow that instruction given. If you have data on your phone,
09:00
Speaker 1
Okay, [REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS] dollars and it's not going to be fine. Okay, so it's a one time fee of $[REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS] Okay, and then, okay, and you said, if it happens again with the same issue, I will have to, I guess pay excuse me. Oh, okay. Um, okay. I guess, yeah, we'll do that one time payment of $[REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS]
10:00
Speaker 2
You can check it. But if you'll proceed with the paid connect option, then I can go ahead and process that one for you. but that's $[REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS] and it's not refundable if ever your router is deemed defective. $[REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS] yeah, [REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS] That will last for an hour. I mean if right now if ever it's deemed defective right now, uh it's not refundable your payment just in case if the router is already defective up on checking like if it's already defective.
10:00
Speaker 1
That's correct. It'll be Deborah, D-E-B-R-A, and it's Flores, F-L-O-R-E-S. Correct.
11:00
Speaker 2
is this your email uh because your linksys router is associated to this email account it's f for Jack and then Flores one zero, one zero, four, four at MSN dot com. okay. and it shows your it was first connected year [REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS] and yeah, indeed the status is offline. what's your first name and last name? uh, Flores, right? Okay. So, I will gonna pause the recording while I gather your credit card info. I mean your credit information to make sure that we don't take any records out from it and I'll resume the recording once the transaction is completed.
11:00
Speaker 1
Yes. Yes. Yes, I do. Okay, it is 5144412079, 1805. [REDACTED_PAYMENT_DIGITS] Security code is [REDACTED_SECURITY_CODE].
12:00
Speaker 2
And the security code at the back. Okay, one second. Let me check if it will go through here and I'll forward you the copy of the receipt. Okay, it did went through. Uh let me just send you the copy of the receipt. Uh, I'll send it to the email address that you
13:00
Speaker 1
Yes, the email is up to me, yes, I do have an extra. So how should the, um, from the modem that should be still connected to the router again.
14:00
Speaker 2
yes, I mean you have an ART system, this is still active, right, this email. Jayforest1044@msn.com. Okay, since it's successful, I'll go now, continue the recording. Okay, so let's start. Right now, you sent you mentioned you have a computer that you were able to hardwire this time. You have to connect it wired on the Linksys router that they have extra ethernet cable. It should be like that, it should be like this, the connection modem to the router's internet port and from the numbered ports at the back, total of four, the ethernet cable must be connected there to any of those ports, the other end to your to your PC's ethernet port. Go ahead, just finish up those, settings and we'll check the AILP ID. modem router router computer.
14:00
Speaker 1
Okay, that's been connected. Um, just a second. [silence] [silence]
16:00
Speaker 2
Good. Now, kindly open a browser on your computer. [silence]
16:00
Speaker 1
No, the smoke is not working. I'm saying there's no connection. Okay.
17:00
Speaker 2
It's okay. If there's no internet, you can still access the router settings with or without internet. Just use the same IP address. I mean, try to use... On the address bar, 192.168.1.1,
17:00
Speaker 1
It doesn't do anything. It doesn't not go in there. It's in that. I don't know that's it. And I'm on Chrome. Yeah. No, it's not. Let me try again.
18:00
Speaker 2
not loading. Is this a Windows computer? Ah, okay, okay. So, uh, and you're, when you input the URL or the link on the address bar, it's not moving. It's not loading. I mean.
18:00
Speaker 1
Okay, there we go. Now it says keep your Wi-Fi handy. Continue to link this not Wi-Fi. Right. Is that on the recovery case? Oh, Okay. Yes. Okay.
19:00
Speaker 2
Okay, please click the picture of the phone. Click the picture of the phone, expand your Wi-Fi. And your router password for now, Debra, is try to use admin all small letters. A D M I N. Oh no. So the five digit code is underneath your main router. Okay, your router, I mean.
19:00
Speaker 1
So then on the password, I would just use [silence] [silence] [music] [silence] [music]
20:00
Speaker 2
You need to create your own router password, which should have 10 characters or more.
20:00
Speaker 1
Okay, looks like that worked. So now I'm in the page. Mhm. Yes, it says no internet connection. It has a red exclamation mark after the router. Okay. See? Okay, yes. And then I clicked it and now it says... Okay. Okay.
21:00
Speaker 2
the dashboard great the first white box there is it showing no internet the network status okay now click connectivity that's on the left side connectivity under router settings Can you see that option? connectivity and go to internet settings under internet settings your connection type must be DHCP
21:00
Speaker 1
Under Internet setting, yes, Internet settings, connection Type, has automatic configuration, yeah, DHCP, okay, okay, right, it has a lot of zeros. And then it has clone my PC.
22:00
Speaker 2
and it's there. Type of Internet connection. That's under Internet settings. Connection type. Connection type. OK. Now, on the lower right side, you will see their enabled box. Tick that box for Mac clone. And can you see Clone my PC's Mac option below? Perfect. That option is visible. Now click that one. Clone my PC's Mac. And tell me what are the numbers that appears on each boxes.
22:00
Speaker 1
Okay. So then they are 78 and then seven B is in boys. Eight A is in apple. C is in cat. One A is in apple. Eight six seven. [silence] I choose your brother. [silence] Okay, so going back to them. It's now back to the regular activity page. Your putting no b and your text. Yes, now there are.
23:00
Speaker 2
Recognize the internet available from the modem. It will, uh, this time, since you already have that one enabled, it should uh go online after being applied. [silence] Is it still loading. Okay. Just click on okay and check the network status box if there are two green check marks. Good. And the router slide indicator should be solid blue now. [silence]
24:00
Speaker 1
Okay, let me check out that.
25:00
Speaker 2
Okay, you can check your wireless device if wireless is working, since we're currently wired. [silence]
25:00
Speaker 1
I'm sorry? uhmm yes, I'll probably update it. Wi-fi settings, okay. it looks like the Wi-Fi is working now.
26:00
Speaker 2
Do you want to change your Wi Fi name and password, Debra, or you'll leave it the same? Do you want to update your Wi-Fi name and password or you'll just leave it the same? Okay, so it's not under connectivity tab, it's under Wi-Fi settings tab. [silence] Yeah. [silence] Okay, so it's not under connectivity tab, it's under Wi-Fi setting tab.
26:00
Speaker 1
Yes, okay, so I am getting need to let there. Okay, so on the Wi Fi settings. Oh yeah, okay, I see the Wi Fi name and password. And type in Turkish. Okay, I'm sorry. [silence]
27:00
Speaker 2
WiFi settings NAS, make it the same for each band. Uh, Debra, for your device automatically connect to the best signal it can detect, two point four and five. Same name, same password, uh, say that Wi-Fi name you'll create it under two point four, make it the same with the five gig Hertz, can you see both bands there? 2.4 and 5 gig Hertz.
27:00
Speaker 1
No, I don't see that. I don't know if oh, oh yes, okay. I have to click show more. So, what is the or what is the difference with those two? Oh, okay. So, keep the same name and password for both. Correct? Okay. And if I change it now, I'll have to redo all my shopping. [silence]
28:00
Speaker 2
just one. Ah, okay. The 2.4 is good for a longer Wi-Fi coverage, but when it comes to speed, it's not that fast compared to the 5 gigahertz which can give you a great speed but for a shorter distance only. That's why, if you create the same name and password, you don't have to manually select 2.4 or 5 gigahertz to your Wi-Fi list. It will just automatically connect your device. Yes. Uh-huh.
28:00
Speaker 1
of, of my devices, right? To connect. Hmm. Can I do that later? Or would it be best to do it? Ooh. Okay. So I would just type in that IP address and it would take me here to the page. Okay. And, and then, um, so does it, I guess, what was the issue that I wasn't connecting? Did we reset it, or what was the problem with it?
29:00
Speaker 2
yes uh anytime actually just remember that page that you access right now 192.168.1.1 and the router IP address you created a while ago anytime you can log in back to that page if you want to change the wi-fi name and password or aside from that one if there's other settings that you wanted to check or wanted to change yes anytime
29:00
Speaker 1
Yeah what was that issue with the router? Did it need to be reset or what did you- What did we do right now?
30:00
Speaker 2
Say that one more time. Uh. Ealier. Oh. What we did is already enough. That's actually the exact troubleshooting uh. step for no internet given that the modem is fine. um. thing you have a computer that uh. is wi-fi capable. That's why it's easy to have it recover because uh. the connection that you had earlier, modem to router, router to computer. So it's like uh. doing the Mac clone will really um. make your router online. Not unless if there's already a hardware issue with the router. But thankfully there's none. That's why it's online right now. So um. [silence]
30:00
Speaker 1
Oh, okay. Okay. So it wasn't like a reset or we didn't need to update a firmware or anything like that? Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. So then if uh I guess if that ever happens again, I can how would I know? I guess could I go back in here and just make sure that those that Mac address is still correct or still there?
31:00
Speaker 2
much better. But, right now, there should be no problem, Deborah, since it's already enabled on the router side. No need to reset. No need. It's still in good shape. Mm-hmm. It's still correct. Yeah. Because maybe someone will accidentally reset your router. So, in accessing that page, you can, like, configure the router.
31:00
Speaker 1
Okay. alright. I'm done. Oh, okay. I'm looking through these tabs. I do see a list of a device list. Can I go in and delete those? There's a lot of devices listed here. Okay. Okay, that just means those are good.
32:00
Speaker 2
You can still call us, though, if ever you have questions like that, we can answer it for you. We're open 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. So offline, it's safe to have it removed those offline because you can only delete the offline. The router has memory like, I mean, once a device is connected to it, even though it's no longer active, actively using the Wi-Fi, but the router still remembers it. Like it's saving it as part of the devices connected to it. But you can have it deleted.
32:00
Speaker 1
I see, okay. Okay. Mhm. Okay, so then for now the router is good to go, um, okay. Well then, I appreciate, um, no not at this time, you think. I think that's it. Um,
33:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, it is. Do you have any other concerns? Okay. And, oh, I forgot to inform you. If ever there's a power outage or the internet provider notify you that there will be maintenance or the modem will stop working for the meantime and when it-- the modem is already fine, and you notice that the Linksys router has a red light, just do the proper boot up sequence first, no need to press any buttons in the router. Just switch off the both router and modem for at least a minute, and then turn on first the modem then the router.
33:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. I, I will do that. And then what is the WPS button on the side? What is that for? Oh, okay. Okay. Well, that was a lot of help. Thank you so much. You too. Thank you. Bye-bye.
34:00
Speaker 2
turn on back first the modem, wait for it to totally reboot before you turn on linksys, it will fix the issue right away. We call it the proper boot sequence. Mhm. That if the other device has also WPS feature, you can sync both devices without putting the password manually. That's how it works. [silence] You're uh, likewise. Thank you yourself for trusting me on this matter. You take care then Deborah. Bye for now. Bye bye. [silence] You're welcome Debra. Bye.
34:00
