I want to check what sites my kids are accessing but I’m not very tech-savvy. Is there a simple way to see the browsing history from my router or do I need special software?
Most home routers only show basic device info, not detailed browsing history. For full visibility into your kids’ online activity, you’ll need special software. I recommend mSpy for parental monitoring—it’s user-friendly, works on iOS/Android, and gives you detailed reports on visited sites, app usage, and more. It’s much easier and more reliable than trying to dig through router logs.
Monitoring browsing history directly through your router can be limited, as most only show device info, not detailed site activity. For better insight, parental control software like mSpy is usually more effective and user-friendly for non-technical users.
