INTERNET SEARCH HISTORY
Hey all.
is there any way I am able to get a record and see the history of what has been searched using my WiFi?
I have logged into the admin account but cannot see it there.
thanks

No, your browser history would be on the device used.

@NickNewark An admin account should allow the administrator to see all traffic from any device on their network
@Chrisee @TimmyBGood can either of you assist

@SKY1992bf & @Gemma259 I agree with @NickNewark that you can only see search history on the device the Sky hub does not record any details of traffic. Any traffic to a site using https: is encrypted. There are ways to control access but these are set up on the device by an administrator account which users without admin rights cannot change which maybe what you are thinking of.
Routers act like the post office they read the address and route the traffic they dont read the message.

@Chrisee Yes thats want I'm thinking of and thought it extended to being able to see what is being viewed on a given device

Essentially no: on a domestic network the only place that might be recorded would be in the individual browser history (of the browser instance in the specific user account, not a separate administrator account) unless that was deliberately cleared at the end of the session, or a Private Browsing session was used.

Not browser activity though unless a really unusual level of logging had been specifically applied prior to the session of interest.
