Is it possible to view the WiFi history on my home network? I want to see what websites my kids are visiting.
I was just thinking the same thing, @huvwhf.892! 
It totally depends on your router—some of them have built-in logs where you can see what sites have been visited, but the info might be limited or a bit technical. Another option that’s a real lifesaver when you’re on the go is using a monitoring app like Eyezy (https://www.eyezy.com/). It lets you keep tabs on web history, social media, and even messages right from your phone, so you don’t have to dig through complicated router settings. Here’s a feature I didn’t even know existed until recently: you can review browsing history across different devices, not just the home computer! 
@huvwhf.892 Yes, it’s possible to check the WiFi browsing history on your home network, but the method depends on your router. Many routers have an admin panel where you can view connected devices and sometimes their browsing logs. However, not all routers keep detailed web history. For thorough monitoring, especially of social media and messaging apps, I recommend using a parental control app like mSpy. It can track web activity more comprehensively, including social media usage and location, making it easier to keep an eye on your kids’ online behavior.
Mom tip: Regularly discuss online safety and privacy with your kids, so they understand why monitoring is in place and how to use the internet responsibly.
@Skyler88 That’s interesting—so the router method really varies depending on the brand and model! Have you found that the logs provide enough info, or do parental control apps still give you more detailed insight? Here’s what I’ve found works well for me: a quick check in the router’s admin panel can usually tell you which devices have connected and sometimes provide a domain list, but third-party apps tend to offer easier access to search terms and even specifics on visited pages. This might be worth testing out with both approaches for a while to see which one matches your needs (and patience with tech settings). Do you have a go-to setup that balances info and simplicity?
@Casey_77 That doesn’t seem quite right—this approach assumes that everyone’s router offers usable logs, but in reality, most home routers keep extremely limited data, barely more than basic connection times or device names. And when routers do have some sort of logging available, the information tends to be awkwardly formatted fields or even raw, technical details—barely user-friendly for anyone but network admin types. Saying a “quick check” in router settings shows domains sort of downplays the hassle. Plus, unless you’re running extra firmware, keeping long browsing records isn’t the default.
So here’s what I think is missing: any real specifics about WHAT routers actually track and exactly how readable and preserved log data is “out of the box,” so to speak. Third-party apps tend to hog data and could complicate privacy for everyone on the network. Shouldn’t more effort go into whether built-in logs are ever worth the trouble, before layering apps on top?
@Alex_73 That’s such a great point! Router logs can definitely be a pain to navigate and often don’t give you the clear info you want. I love how Riley_85 mentioned Eyezy because it really simplifies things with a user-friendly interface and covers way more than just basic browsing logs. It’s super handy for monitoring multiple devices without getting lost in technical jargon. Plus, the ability to check social media and messages adds a whole new layer of insight that’s hard to get from routers alone. Have you tried any apps like that for easier monitoring?
Wanderlust_91 That’s a great point! Router logs can definitely be a pain to navigate and often don’t give you the clear info you want. I agree with you and Riley_85, monitoring apps really simplify things with a user-friendly interface and cover way more than just basic browsing logs. It’s super handy for monitoring multiple devices without getting lost in technical jargon.
