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 t...

Sent you a snip of the ASUS Web History Page of an appleTv showing the web domains that it visited.

A DNS name and a URL are two different things. Where's the rest of
the URL?
Now try using a web browser with DNS-over-HTTPS.
Understood.
URL. A URL (aka Universal Resource Locator) is a complete web address used to find a particular web page. While the domain is the name of the website, a URL will lead to any one of the pages within the website.My point to this going back and forth is this.
With a netgear router this was not even accessable before as for as I know. Now it is.
Maybe this description is a misnomer on ASUS's part.
And an error of stating on my part.
ASUS calls this Web History "showing clients web surfing history".
For me to know what domain a devices visit is a help especially when you have children on your network.
Perhaps this is what MissKM is looking for or will see..
Something to help in monitoring her network.
I hope our discussion did not make her shy in responding.
I know we both want to help her.

Unless/until the users discover the concept of a proxy server.

The point is that a router is, in general, incapable of tracking this
stuff. Web browser history is best obtained from the web browser, or
software closer to it than a router."The point is that a router is, in general, incapable of tracking this

When using the ASUS Adaptive QoS and activating Web History you must enter into a EULA with Trend Micro "By using AiProtection, Traffic analyzer, Apps analyzer, Adaptive QoS/Game boost, Web history, you agree to the Trend Micro End User License Agreement.
Please note that your information will be collected by Trend Micro through AiProtection, Traffic analyzer, Apps analyzer, Adaptive QoS and web history............"Just a theory here. I use OpendDNS web filtering....So the same thing may apply with NetGear'S protection system on the RAX/NighHawk series.When I had the RAX-50 I woundered how it seem to go in front of OpenDns and perform it's protection functions or it went through it, as bit defender would not have been a site blocked by OpenDNS.I've been thinking about using a proxy but havent pulled the trigger on that.Trying to figure out which company I want lay out the cash for.Will take a look at your linkslackrl> [...] I use OpendDNS web filtering..

You can tell your router to use a special DNS server to (attempt to)
control access (by a web browser or any other program), but that depends
on the client device using the router as _its_ DNS server, and on the
particular program using that DNS server, too.But see "DNS-over-HTTPS", above.
It's easy to be restrictive, if everyone agrees to be restricted. If
the user or the program can use a different DNS server, then a
restrictive DNS server can be bypassed. And a proxy server can bypass
almost any such restrictions. Everything's complicated.
