192.168.1.5 is the fifth IP address in the private network 192.168.1.0, whose assignable address range starts at 192.168.1.1. The IP address 192.168.1.5 is a private IP address and is most commonly used in home networks with Linksys broadband routers, although other routers may also use this address.

When the 192.168.1.5 IP address is assigned to a router, you can access it by entering its URL, namely http://192.168.1.5, into the address bar of a web browser. This address must be accessed on a device connected to the network, such as a phone or computer connected to the router.

If 192.168. 1.5 is assigned to a device, you cannot access it as you would when it is used as a router address, but you may need to use it in other circumstances. For example, to find out if a device is active on the network (such as a network printer or a device that is offline), use the ping command.

The only other time most people see the IP address 192.168. 1.5 is when they are checking a device to see what IP address is assigned to it. This is often the case when using the ipconfig command.
