Can My Housemate See My Browsing History on Shared Wi-Fi?
Asked by

Hey everyone! So, I'm not super tech-savvy, so I hope someone can help me out here. I've got a new housemate and I'm starting to think he might be snooping on my internet activity. The Wi-Fi router is only accessible within the house, and I gave him the password when he moved in. But I've noticed a few instances that made me think the router might have been fiddled with.
I'm wondering—if he has my network password and the router login hasn't been changed, can he log in to see my browsing history? Also, since my mom originally set up the modem, is the login information just for her to manage? Thanks for any advice!

Yes, if you haven't changed the password to the admin console, your housemate can access logs that show what websites you've visited. It's pretty straightforward for them if they're a bit techy.

CuriousCat2022: Thanks for the info! Is there any way for me to clear that history? And if I change the password now, will that stop him from seeing anything in the future?
