Is it possible to see what IP addresses are being accessed via my WI-Fi router?

Not for any illegal/spying purposes but rather to check on what the children are accessing on their tablets. Is it possible for me to see what IP address are being accessed via our wi fi router?? (as oppossed to checking the individual history on the tablet for example)

This is what you are talking about. It can be done, just with a bit of work.

Some routers will keep and show you, a log, e.g. the Netgear WGR614 I use here, supplied by UPC a few years back. Others can be loaded with alternative software. Generally the ADSL modem routers as supplied by Eircom/Sky/Vodafone don't let you see a log by default

I think I have this openDNS on my computer already as it comes up as a default search engine sometimes I think

My router is my own one - a Netgear XXXX IIRC (will need to check model) but it's not from a the likes of the companies mentioned above.

Have you looked through the router's web interface to see if there is already a log? Prob at 192.168.1.1
