Wireless Router - Security Issue

Hi, we have a wireless router in our house which provides internet to all the laptops in our house.

The admin computer is my dads desktop.

I was wondering if there is anyway my dad can monitor from the admin computer what websites the rest of us in the network access on our computers without actually logging into out computers?

Is there any software or anything which can allow him to monitor our internet activity?

Thanks in advance.

You will need a gateway, just before that router.

Check Untangle.com, get an old PC and install on that and configure the webfilter, reports.

If not then install monitoring software on each laptop and have the software email your dad keystrokes, screenshots of the screen every 2, 5, 10 minutes, etc. :D

if IE/firefox history is stored somewhere in a file(not sure if it is) you can set 'sharing' onto the PCs and grant the admins access to the share path

but then again..this is an overly simple answer, I'm sure there are better solutions out there.
