The advances in technology have dramatically altered our lives. The internet is primarily responsible for making virtual reality so easy to use. It is evident in everything we do, whether ordering a burger or writing an exam online. It has a huge impact on how we interact with our peers, how we learn about international issues and how our brains work.
It isn't easy to monitor children's and students' internet activity since everyone knows how to delete their browsing history. This blog will address this problem by focusing on how to view someone's search history via wifi. Before we can understand how to see someone's search histories which use your wifi, let's first find out if it's possible to view someone else's search records.
How to see someone's search history through wifi
It is important to know that your wifi connection cannot be used to access the browser history of someone else. It is possible to access the log data of someone by setting up your router. The settings of routers can vary widely from one manufacturer to the next. All routers have Logs, a feature that is common to all brands. Logs stores all your browsing activity.
You will need to use a web browser to access the log data of your router to obtain it. You will then need to enter your IP address and access dates. The log is disabled by default. You will need to enable it following the instructions with the router. You can only track user activity once you have helped it. You can also contact your ISP provider for a log of your router activity. If you wish to inspect the history of your router using a web browser, please follow these steps:

Step 1 Launch the web browser from your desktop. Enter your router's IP address. You can identify your router's IP address by inspecting it carefully. Sometimes it is located at the bottom of your router.
Your desktop can also be used to access the router's IP address. To do this, click on the start button and click Command Prompt. After the new window has opened, type ipconfig and press the Enter button. Look at the Default Gateway part. This is located in the wifi LAN Adapter section. Your router's IP address is the string of numbers in default Gateway. Copy the URL and paste it into the address bar of your browser.
Step 2 You will now be taken to the router's dashboard. Sign in using the router's admin username or password. This information is most likely found at the bottom or in the manual.
Step 3 Site layouts can vary between routers. You might find a link to see your wifi history, logs and other information on the router dashboard's homepage. You can access the link to see the IP addresses of websites your router visited. You will need to identify the device's IP address you are trying to track. You can then scan the logs to track down which websites were visited by the specific address.
Step 4: This log contains information like when a user accessed a website, the IP addresses used to surf the internet, and the URLs visited. Following the above steps, you should be able to track down the internet activity of anyone who uses your wifi.
It is important to remember that such data could be used to violate the privacy of others. It is important not to access the internet activities of others and only use these methods for legitimate purposes such as monitoring your child's internet activity.
