10.0.4.5 router login

To open the admin panel, type 10.0.4.5 into your browser's address bar. If the page does not load, this is probably not the gateway address on your network — see the checks below.

10.0.4.5 router passwords

Where to find them:

  • The label on the underside or back of the router — most manufacturers print the default admin username, password and Wi-Fi key there.
  • The quick-start card or manual that came in the box.
  • Your ISP's account portal, if the device was supplied by them — many set a unique password per line rather than a shared default.

The credential record for 10.0.4.5 is empty and no username and password combination should be assumed. Whatever device answers here publishes its own defaults, generally on a sticker on the case, in the manual for that exact model number, or in the documentation supplied by the internet provider that issued the hardware.

How to log in to your router

  1. Type 10.0.4.5 into your browser's address bar and press Enter. Type it by hand rather than accepting an autocomplete suggestion, which often fills in a different address you visited before.

  2. If the browser reports that it cannot reach 10.0.4.5, this is not the gateway address on your network. On Windows run ipconfig /all and read the Default Gateway line; on macOS open System Settings, Network, Details, TCP/IP; on Linux run ip route and read the address after "default via".

  3. If the login page loads but rejects your credentials, and you have never changed them, use the defaults printed on the device's label. If they have been changed and nobody knows the new password, a factory reset is the only way back in.

If you do not know the password

Where the password has been lost, some equipment offers a recovery path through a serial console or a signed vendor procedure; try that before the reset button. A full factory reset removes the whole saved configuration, including whatever fixed addressing put a device on 10.0.4.5, and restores the label's default wireless name and password.

10.0.4.5 falls in 10.0.0.0/8, private space that RFC 1918 removed from the public internet. Sixteen million addresses sit behind the 255.0.0.0 netmask, which is why the block suits organisations that need a structured numbering plan across many sites, along with ISP-managed home gateways, carrier hardware, VPN pools and container networks. Traffic to it is never routed publicly.

The local segment is 10.0.4.0/24, addressable from 10.0.4.1 to 10.0.4.254 and broadcasting on 10.0.4.255. Fifth position in the subnet is short and easy to remember, the kind of number often assigned by hand to something that needs a predictable address rather than left to a DHCP server. It is not a usual gateway slot, though. Most people arriving here have found the address in a configuration file, a bookmark or a network scan and want to know what sits behind it. The subnet has 141 other documented addresses.

Comment: These addresses are in use by many millions of independently operated networks, which might be as small as a single computer connected to a home gateway, and are automatically configured in hundreds of millions of devices. They are only intended for use within a private context and traffic that needs to cross the Internet will need to use a different, unique address.
