Checking Browsing History
I saw in a video that you can see the browsing history through your router. So I looked up how to do it on the Netgear site, but the directions it gave don't seem to be helping me to do it. It says to go to the IP address in your web browser and go to the "advanced" section. This does not seem to exist. Can anyone help me to find what it is referring to? The only stuff I can find is about changing settings, like shutting it off at certain times, limiting use on a device, changing the password, etc. I cannot find anything that allows me to see what sites are being viewed through my router or a way to set it up to allow me to see them in the future.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

A little more clarity:
Can you link to the NetGear instructions?
Can you link to the video?
Thanks

One other thought...
Have you tried accessing the web GUI with a different browser.
Or use a browser were you can clear out all of it cache??

Not a router. Look for "Model" on the product label.

That might be because it is, in general, not possible. When using
HTTPS ("https://<whatever>"), which is almost universal these days, the
traffic between the web browser and the web server is encrypted, making
it impossible for the router to record any useful data regarding that
transaction.Hi antinode
I have a Netgear Router WND4500v3
I had a Netrear RAX-50
I don't recall seeing that feature in either of those routers.
I don't know if NetGear Routers support that feature.
I have an ASUS router, where you can turn a feature that lets you see what web site any device or client or all clients visit, a really handy feature to have.
Waiting to see if MissKM will send links to look at.
