V2 Grader Summary

The agent made partial progress by restoring internet on the parent node, but failed to reconnect child nodes. Technical inaccuracies, inappropriate tool use (join.zoho.com), and failure to reduce customer effort resulted in an ownership gap despite full case ownership.

V1 Case Analysis

Customer unable to get WHW03 mesh nodes online after reset. Agent guided through multiple resets, incorrect LED interpretation, non-Linksys remote session (join.zoho.com), and suggested Chrome download. No model/serial collected, no proper escalation. Issue unresolved.

Troubleshooting Steps
  • Confirmed status lights on parent and child nodes.
  • Instructed 5-press reset on parent node.
  • Guided customer to access router web UI via myrouter.local and 192.168.1.1.
  • Suggested downloading Chrome and using a Zoho remote-support session.
Key Observations
  • Agent never collected model number, serial number, or warranty status despite multiple opportunities.
  • Used non-Linksys remote-support tool (join.zoho.com), which violates Linksys support policy.
  • Provided materially inaccurate LED color guidance — KB states solid red = hardware/network error, but agent treated it as normal during setup.
  • Suggested downloading Chrome unnecessarily — browser choice does not affect router access.
  • Failed to acknowledge customer frustration or provide a clear recap.
  • Pushed $15 paid support without first exhausting free troubleshooting or confirming warranty status.
  • Did not verify if the parent node had solid blue light before attempting child node pairing — a required step per KB.
Positive Highlights
  • Attempted to verify status lights on parent and child nodes.
  • Guided the customer to try accessing the router via myrouter.local and 192.168.1.1, which are correct URLs for WHW03.
  • Recognized the need to reset the parent node before child nodes, aligning with mesh topology logic.
Agent Errors / Gaps
  • Did not ask for or confirm product model/serial number.
  • Did not verify warranty status or eligibility for support.
  • Used unauthorized remote-support platform (join.zoho.com), which is not a Linksys tool.
  • Provided incorrect LED state interpretation — flashing red/purple is not a valid state per KB; only solid red, solid blue, blinking blue, blinking red, blinking amber.
  • Gave confusing and incorrect reset instructions — 5-press method is for pairing, not recovery from solid red.
  • Suggested downloading Chrome as a solution, which is irrelevant to router access.
  • Pushed paid-support fee ($15) without first providing complete free troubleshooting.
  • Failed to follow mesh node pairing prerequisites — did not confirm parent node was solid blue before attempting child node setup.
  • Did not escalate to proper support path after repeated failures.

V2 Indicator Ratings

Resolution
R1 Partially Met Issue actually resolved conf 95%
Customer states internet is working on the parent node after troubleshooting: 'I can get online' and 'everything seems to be going I think I'm happy with what's going on', but child nodes not fully reconnected; partial progress made.
R2 Partially Met Diagnostic thoroughness conf 90%
Agent performed resets, modem reboot, LED checks, and attempted access to web interface — but skipped critical Step 1 (direct modem speed test) and relied on flawed remote access method.
R3 Partially Met Correct resolution path conf 85%
Agent pursued troubleshooting appropriate for a mesh setup issue, but introduced an invalid tool (Zoho), reducing technical appropriateness; best-effort was shown despite complexity.
Technical Accuracy
T1 Partially Met Technically accurate info conf 90%
Identified red flashing LED and post-reset failure; asked about modem ports and node models — but did not logically sequence diagnostics (e.g., no direct modem test to isolate ISP vs. router issue).
T2 Not Met Appropriate tools / resources used conf 95%
Used join.zoho.com for remote access instead of approved tools like remote login via linksyssmartwifi.com or local access — inappropriate and unsupported method per KB.
T3 Not Met No misinformation conf 95%
Instructed customer to 'press reset until blue light' — contradicts KB which specifies release after LED flash-off sequence; used incorrect remote URL; misidentified myrouter.local as 'myrrouter.local'.
Communication
C1 Partially Met Clear & professional language conf 85%
Attempted to guide interaction but had multiple silences, abrupt shifts (e.g., sudden Zoho instruction), and failed to clearly transition between diagnostic phases.
C2 Partially Met Confirmed understanding conf 85%
Used some plain language but introduced unfamiliar tools (Zoho) and technical steps (browser download) without confirming understanding, not fully adapting to customer’s expressed discomfort with Chrome.
Customer Ownership
O1 Met Ownership & empathy conf 95%
Agent owned the case throughout, did not transfer, and stayed on the line for the full duration to assist — demonstrated full ownership.
O2 Not Met Proactive follow-through conf 90%
No clear next steps or timeline provided; call ended with customer saying they’ll 'work on it tomorrow' — no structured follow-up plan established.
O3 Partially Met Closure confirmation conf 85%
Referenced prior technician’s reset attempt but did not document or build upon specific findings; missed opportunity to streamline troubleshooting based on history.
Escalation Judgment
E1 Not Applicable Correct escalation decision conf 100%
No escalation was performed and none was warranted — issue remained within L1/L2 scope and agent continued engagement.
E2 Not Applicable Escalation prep & handoff conf 100%
No escalation occurred, so execution cannot be assessed.
Customer Experience
X1 Partially Met Customer effort minimised conf 85%
Expressed understanding ('I understand') and acknowledged effort ('you've been on this for hours'), but responses remained procedural rather than empathetic during high frustration.
X2 Not Met Tone & rapport conf 95%
Continued pushing Chrome download and Zoho access after customer said 'I don’t like Chrome' and was emotionally drained — failed to adapt to tone and emotional state.
X3 Not Met Overall experience conf 95%
Required customer to download new browser, use unfamiliar remote tool, and repeat failed steps — significantly increased effort instead of reducing it.

This is Linksys technical support calling. This call is recorded for quality assurance. Please hold as we connect you to a link sys specialist. Hello, this is Paul from Link sys customer assurance team. May I speak to Greg? Greg Charles? Okay, sir, so this yeah, your case has been escalated to us. So, I'm doing a follow up call regarding your concern about your link sys device. I just want to confirm, sir, you are unable to yeah, get online when connected to link sys right? Or you are unsuccessful in setting up the link sys router back to the network, correct? Mhm. Yeah. Mhm. Let me see. Okay. So, just want to confirm, so right now the status light of the parent load is solid red or flashing.
00:00
Speaker 2
Speaking. You know. In that, with the technician that I had earlier, he got it online and everything was working. Then she said she wanted to reset it, just to make sure, and when we reset it, we never could get it back online.
00:00
Speaker 1
[silence] [KEEP_UNCERTAIN] Yeah, that one there. Yeah, that is correct, sir. EU 2251. OK. Guys at AT. Yeah, you got it. That's yeah, you got it. Right modem. Yeah, double check that specification of this modem. OK. E to 5.
01:00
Speaker 2
I see an EU 2251. You up? [silence]
02:00
Speaker 1
I just want to confirm so how many ports do you have in the modem set. Does it have only one ethernet port? That's the yellow port. Then two phone ports right? Yeah, I do not want to mix it with the child nodes, okay? okay so yeah just get one of the child nodes sir. Okay. But I also I believe you have six six nodes in total right okay and do they have the same model number sort of WHW03 or WH yeah? Okay. All right so yeah just get yeah any of the child nodes
03:00
Speaker 2
Okay. Okay. Okay, I'm uh uh. Um. Okay. Doesn't doesn't matter which one, huh? have it. Yes. Yes. Yeah. They are the same.
04:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, any of the nodes? Yeah, like, yes, okay. They're connected directly to the modem, sorry. Okay. Yeah, then plug it into the power outlet. Okay, just give it some time. It should be flashing, Yeah, it should be flashing blue, meaning rebooting. Okay. Let me know if it turns flashing red. Yeah, honestly, I'm not sure. Maybe spectrum is doing some update on their end.

I'm plugging bleh-im bleeding a different one in right now. Yep, that's what I'm doing. Okay, it's booting up. I look a little blue might on top of it right now. Miss, flash, easy. Why do they make these things so complicated? No, it was working fine. It was working fine.
05:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. So I. Yeah, because I believe so. You reconfigure the parent node, and since you reconfigure the parent node, then there's also a need for you to reset the child modes. That's why she asked you to reset the child modes.
06:00
Speaker 2
Everything was working fine. I decided that, um, my wife wanted the, um, the, uh, all the internet stuff out of the living room, so I, I moved it to a different room. And when I hooked everything back up, they wouldn't work. And I called Spectrum to make sure my internet was working fine, and internet was working fine, but if I connect directly to my computer, it worked. But if I connect to the, um, notes, I get nothing. And then her and I messed around with it for a while and she got it working, then she went to reset everything. She had me hold down the, uh, reset button for 10 seconds on each one of 'em, and when they came back up, none of 'em worked. [noise]
06:00
Speaker 1
the parent reset as well, because those child notions will not work if the parent is not working. [silence] So we need to make sure first that the main router is working. Okay, so what's the stat what's that status look like right now? Okay, let's reset this child notion. So to reset the child notion, please press and hold the reset button until you see the blue light. Okay, so while you're pressing the reset button, sir, yeah, just press the reset button. Wait until the light turns off, then once the light turns off, keep pressing until you see the blue light. So release the the blue light. Once you see, yeah, release the reset button once you see the blue light. Okay, how's it going, sir?

27:00
Speaker 1
on the address bar, my router period dot local, period dot local, okay, how was it, um, what happened when you type when you, after you press enter.
28:00
Speaker 2
My router, okay, hold on. My router, not local. It's just um, it's not doing anything. It didn't do anything. It just got the little bar going across the top underneath underneath the web address, but it's going by really really slow. [silence]
28:00
Speaker 1
Okay, let's try this one instead, sir. So, on the address bar, try to type uh 192.168.1 uh the dot one dot one. So it's one nine two dot one six eight. Yeah, dot one, dot one. Yeah. Yeah, dot one, dot one. yeah. Yes, yes, I should be able to adjust that page. Okay, let's try this one. Sir. Let's can you are you may I know what browser are you using there? Are you using Edge browser? Okay, so I can you try using different browsers? Can you try using Chrome instead? Yeah, because we are having issues. Can you try to download Chrome instead, sir? Yeah, just for setup purposes, so we can add your six nodes or it may be your remaining five nodes.
29:00
Speaker 2
Zero dot, dot one. One. That's what the lady one. That's what the other lady had me the last time. It says not doing anything. I don't know. I guess we still have a problem. It does let me go online, but it's not let me do that. Safari? Safari? I don't have Chrome. I don't have Chrome. [silence]
29:00
Speaker 1
Can you download Chrome for now so anyway if you don't want to use it you can just uninstall it later. Yeah let's download Chrome for now. Yes sir can you try to do it yeah right now sir yeah while we are on the phone Because yeah yeah because if yeah you relax yes sir yeah you might be charged yeah for another $15 yeah just in case you might not be successful. Yes I just want to assist. Yes sir, like just want to make sure everything is working.
30:00
Speaker 2
Well, now that we've got this set up, got this part working, I'll just use the app. And see if I can set these up like I did when I first got them. Because now this is working, I think I can just use my app. I understand, but I don't, I don't like Chrome. And I mean, I don't like, all those tabs. They just never did anything for me. Uh,
30:00
Speaker 1
OK try using the LNG to sense router. So connect your phone to the default WiFi name of the linker sense router. So yeah, please go to WiFi settings on your phone sir. Then kindly. Yeah, before you go to WiFi settings on your phone, check first the default WiFi name of the new parent node. OK, just turn the note upside down. OK, try using Firefox. [silence] Yeah, try it using sir the Yeah, let's try using.
31:00
Speaker 2
Let's see. What? Okay. I have Firefox. We have Firefox, OK? That is in Firefox. 192.168.1.1. I don't know why it's not working. It's not working.
31:00
Speaker 1
okay. The linksys app on your phone. Okay, but first make sure. Yeah, the linksys app. But before that, can you double check first the default Wi-Fi name of the new parent node? So just turn the node upside down. Yeah, on the sticker, please check the default Wi-Fi name of that new parent node.
32:00
Speaker 2
efa Alexa See here [silence]
32:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so when your phone, can you check for the default Wi-Fi name of that new parent mode, yeah, can you tell me the default Wi-Fi name? Yeah, what's the default name of that mode, yeah? Yeah, the default name, yeah, please check it on the bottom of the new parent mode. The one that has it in like, yeah, can you, can you tell me the default Wi-Fi name, please? Yeah, what's the default, okay. Yeah, yeah, can you see it again? Yeah, F852. Okay. And can you see this Wi-Fi name on the Wi-Fi list?
33:00
Speaker 2
This connection timed out. I just did that. It said this I did twice already. V lockdown set up F. Huh? F5 two do you see it? And I typed it.
33:00
Speaker 1
Did you used the password you created at the bottom of the node? And what happens? Yeah. Because for this one. Sure. Yeah. We might need to... Yeah. Because at this point we might need to reset the node. So before we reset the node, we just want to make sure that we can access the web interface of the router. Since we can we cannot access the web interface then we will try using the app. But since your phone cannot connect to the default Wi-Fi name, then yeah that's something, yeah we might need to troubleshoot.
34:00
Speaker 2
the password and everything else. Sorry, I'll try, I'll try to figure it out because I got this one working, you got this one working for me. I'll try to figure it out because I mean, we've gone through like 15 different things and it's not working. I'm not sure why, but I can get online. I'm happy with that. But I have to try to figure out what's going on with it. Because I tried, I tried. Pardon me? Yeah.
34:00
Speaker 1
yep so because yeah it's also possible so there's something wrong with the browser okay so it's the browser not letting us accessing a page ah yeah yeah i don't this what that so yeah i understand okay yeah so yeah try using so the the phone okay okay so before we end the call sir you're welcome and anything else sir before we end the call uh
