Default Router & Device Passwords
A short, honest list — not a claim to cover every brand or model. This is what ProbeShield's own scanner tests when it finds a device on your network, laid out so you can check it yourself without installing anything. Part of the same idea as our network security checklist.

Most entries here are a single guess per brand; newer devices increasingly ship with a unique printed password instead of a shared default, in which case none of this will work — check the label on the device or its manual instead.
Common generic defaults
These aren't tied to one brand — they show up across unbranded, white-label, or never-configured devices of all kinds.
