Any particular make and model router?

On what manner of machine were you planning to use for monitoring?
Most routers do NOT store ancient history of the kids midnight
browsing habits. The data needs to be recorded immediately or it's
lost. That means you'll need to have a computah turned on all the
time collecting statistics and URL's. An old laptop will work.

Various network monitors:

Most show traffic statistics, but a few record URL's.

There are also traffic and URL monitors that are specific to various
routers.
