00:09 How to clear WiFi router history?

Very few routers actually have the storage to store the history for long periods of time. It’ll most likely be lost after a few days or hours even. Even if they could, it’s a hard task trying to find router history if you have no experience. Although your internet provider can always see your history, your family will most likely have no idea how to access it. So unless you’ve searched for something extremely illegal or someone in your family knows how to, you have nothing to worry about.
To clear WiFi router history just follow these steps:
Log into your router through your browser and click Advanced then go to System and then System Log and then Clear System Log to delete your router history.

00:52 Does Unplugging Router Delete History?

That depends on the router. Most routers won’t store your log history if you unplug it. They tend to store only key configuration files to keep the router operating once you plug it back in. Such features mean that a power cut doesn’t disrupt service any more than it has to.
Some router brands will store your history, so it’s worth checking what model you have and what features it has. There are pros and cons to keeping your log history, even after unplugging it. It’s also possible to factory reset your router to clear all history.

01:26 How Long Does Router Keep History?

The length of time your router keeps your history varies depending on the device. As mentioned, most routers only store your system logs, with some also storing IP addresses of websites and services visited.
Routers that store some form of history also often have options for how long you want them to keep such information.
It’s also possible to delete the information as and when needed, as described above.

Check your router and its manual to see how long the default setting is for storing system logs or IP addresses. It can range from hours to weeks or even months, depending on how frequently you use it.
