V2 Grader Summary

The agent failed to resolve the issue, provided factually incorrect information about technical support availability for the EA6350, and avoided ownership by directing the customer to self-test and purchase new hardware. No meaningful troubleshooting or empathy was demonstrated, resulting in an unresolved case with high customer effort and a critical failure due to evasion of support obligations.

V1 Case Analysis

Customer reports EA6350 not connecting to internet. Agent advised power cycle, direct modem test, and factory reset. Incorrectly stated router is end-of-life with no technical support available. No resolution achieved.

Troubleshooting Steps
  • Advised power-cycle of modem and router
  • Suggested connecting a PC directly to the modem to verify internet connectivity
  • Recommended a factory reset of the router
Key Observations
  • Agent incorrectly stated that Linksys no longer provides technical support for the EA6350 due to end-of-life status. This contradicts KB guidance, which indicates that paid support is available for out-of-warranty devices.
  • No support case was created despite handling a technical issue.
  • Agent failed to verify completion or results of any troubleshooting step.
  • Customer email was captured as 'Josh', likely due to phonetic confusion, but not corrected.
  • Agent did not offer paid-support options despite the device being out of warranty and the call falling within paid-support scope.
Positive Highlights
  • Correctly identified the router model (EA6350) and serial number from customer input.
  • Provided technically accurate basic troubleshooting steps: power-cycle, direct modem test, and factory reset.
Agent Errors / Gaps
  • Incorrectly claimed the EA6350 is end-of-life and no longer supported by Linksys for technical assistance. Per KB, technical support is still available via paid support for out-of-warranty devices.
  • Did not create a support case in HappyFox or equivalent system, violating protocol for technical issues.
  • Failed to verify whether the customer performed the suggested troubleshooting steps (e.g., modem test, factory reset).
  • Did not offer paid-support as a valid path for an out-of-warranty device, despite the issue being within scope for paid support.
  • Misidentified customer email as 'Josh' without clarification, likely due to mishearing the first name.
  • Provided no follow-up mechanism or documentation (e.g., email with steps, KB article).

And who's your Internet service provider? Thank you. All right, so for this one, Ben, upon double checking it here, this router is actually a plug-in place to it's [ silence]

they should be able to get internet right away. And the best route to check the Internet with this one is, they have a computer that can't connect using an Ethernet cable. All right. Because what we can do is double check first, like bypass the Linksys router and check your modem. Connect a computer directly to the modem with a computer that can connect via an Ethernet cable. And while you're checking your computer, Ben, just set your expectation that this model EA6350 actually has reached end of support and end of life. Linksys no longer manufacture this and it no longer receives firmware updates as well, or maintenance. We also no longer provide technical support. But my recommendation, since it has no internet, the best route is to

Speaker 1
So, I think, I think it is probably the firmware that's not working, because I've had no problems with the modem. So, I basically have to buy a new router if it's not the modem. Okay.
38:00
Speaker 2
check directly the modem first there's active internet from the internet box okay, got it, understood. You can try resetting the router back to factory settings, like pressing and holding the reset button at the back, but if it's still the same, and if you're going to get a new router, if it's still no internet, it's still best to check the modem internet box in case. Yes, if not the modem your modem is working fine. You're able to get internet, whilst after checking it by connecting a computer directly to the actual internet box. All right. And anything else that I can assist you with like this, their questions or clarifications Thank you. [silence] on here and s have to call and sis have a wonderful night ahead take care by
