Yes, WiFi routers keep logs, and WiFi owners can see what websites you opened, so your WiFi browsing history is not at all hidden.
Can the owner of a router see websites history?
Yes, definitely. A WiFi owner can see what websites you visit while using WiFi as well as the things that you search on the Internet. There are lots of routers with a built-in tracking feature from companies like Netgear.
Can I access someone’s search history from my home router?
There is no direct way to access someone’s search history – even if they are connected to your home router. That said, you can set up your router to log a user’s browser history. In this guide, we’ll show you how you can do just that. However, collecting data such as someone’s browsing history is a violation of their privacy.
Why doesn’t my router save all of my browsing history?
They don’t have enough memory or storage capacity to save any information about past history. Once you disconnect from the router, or restart the router, the information is gone. Expensive, commercial, firewall routers have more memory, superior programming, and storage space to do much more and save more information.
Do home routers keep WiFi history?

Can you see who visited what websites on your router?
As you can see, you will get a basic list of names, sources, IP addresses, and MAC addresses by checking router history. But it may not show you specific URLs someone visited on a particular website.
