Troubleshooting Salt Issues
Common Salt connection problems and how to fix them.
Salt fiber internet is not available at your address despite being in a covered area
Cause: Fiber partner coverage maps can be approximate. Your specific building may not yet have fiber termination installed.
- Verify availability by entering your exact address on the Salt website
- Contact your building management to check if fiber has been installed to the building
- Ask Salt about the timeline for fiber deployment at your address
- Consider Salt's mobile 5G as a temporary alternative while waiting for fiber
WiFi speeds are much slower than the 10 Gbps fiber plan should deliver
Cause: WiFi, even WiFi 7, cannot match wired fiber speeds. Device limitations and interference reduce wireless throughput.
- Use an ethernet cable for speed-sensitive tasks like large downloads
- Place the WiFi 7 router in a central location on the main floor
- Check that your devices support WiFi 7. Older devices will be slower on WiFi 6 or 5
- Reduce interference from neighboring networks by using the 6 GHz band where possible
Unexpected charges appear on the Salt bill
Cause: Promotional pricing expired, roaming charges, or add-on services were activated.
- Review your contract details and promotional period end dates
- Check for roaming charges if you traveled recently
- Log into the Salt customer portal to review all active services
- Contact Salt customer service to dispute any incorrect charges
