TP-LINK TD-W9970/W8968 Router: Can Hackers View Browsing History After Hacking & Trojan Virus?

I have a router TP-LINK TD-W9970 or W8968 and I wonder if in the event of hacking and Trojan virus hacker can view on it the history of browsing websites from devices connected to this router. Do they have this option? Thank you in advance for your response.

Of course, you can track the transmission remotely on each router. Even Zuziu has ways where you don't need a router to preview what other people are browsing the web on.

Thank you for your response

I have one more question, is there a way to permanently delete browser history from devices connected to the router? In the sense of resetting the memory of pages viewed in the router?

The router itself does not store the history of pages visited. At least not these models. At any given moment, the router has only entries of current connections in its memory (NAT table - it must know which computer in the local network packets with the answer should be sent to), which is rather so.

So if I restore the device to factory settings, these connections will be visible on the router, or will it also be deleted?

Home routers do not store any connection history! Whether you restore the factory settings or not, it cannot be read after some time, because they do not have such memory. It would have to be HDD or SSD.

You can track but during work. In order to view it later, you would have to write it down somewhere.

I do not know who you want to hide the history of visited pages from, but ... probably 99% of the Internet service provider is obliged to store visited pages for a period of 12 months.

Just turn it off from the socket. The information about currently ongoing calls. Because information about yesterday's connections is no longer there.

There were 24, but probably reduced to 12. And not only the history of visited pages, but many other data - logins, locations, IP addresses, etc.

It should be added that the data for the needs of the services, not that the parent will control the child.

Do not log the history of visited pages, and certainly not logins, because and how?

Roughly: source and destination IP, ports, and time.
The data is stored for 12 months and no more.

"Article 180c. 1. The obligation referred to in Article 180a (1) shall cover data necessary for:
1) determining the termination of the network, telecommunications terminal equipment, end user:
a) initiating the connection,
b) to which the connection is directed;
2) terms:
a) date and time of the connection and its duration,
b) type of connection,
c) the location of the telecommunications terminal equipment. "

I exaggerated with these logins. But what harm to scare.
But visited pages are logged in since:

Technically very simple. For example, Barracuda Web Security Gateway has a standard login for all website entries. In the form of a URL. And this product is available to all administrators, so even more so for ISPs. There are many such products. Another thing is whether the ISP has the ability to collect so much data - it probably goes into petabytes in their case.

Only that no ISP will do what it doesn't have to do, whether it is simple or difficult. Log in IP and port and that's it. Do you pay more taxes than you need?

The destination web server's IP is also information where the client looked. Maybe without details, but often enough.
In addition, the term "to which the connection is directed" is vague and can be interpreted differently. I am not a lawyer or an ISP, but there has been a long-standing discussion about what to collect. The customer has the right to even different complaints. Here is an article by GIODO, so a very official body, 6 years ago, and there is explicit reference to recording the history of browsed pages. So I didn't think of it. https://www.giodo.gov.pl/pl/1520001/4552
This is about plans for regulations (written in 2012). What is the matter with it now, I do not know.
However, I think there is nothing to discuss about it because we leave the topic framework. We will not turn back by the Wisła stick. Regards and disappear.
