Do devices that share a dual Ethernet Wi-Fi router share history as well?

Like... The desktop is off, but plugged into one wall and connected to the router via Ethernet cord. Whilst a laptop is in another wall using Wi-Fi from this same router.



Can the history on the Wi-Fi laptop be tracked on the Ethernet desktop? Since they're sharing a connection...


Now that you've processed that, the desktop is VPN protected by an employer.
mate come thru 💻
yes, as long as the user has access to the routers logs then yeah they will be able to see, the logs are typically on by default if you have never messed with it.

A VPN basically just changes who sees what you are doing when you are connected to your main router, the people who are able to see what you are doing, are the ISP providers and users who have admin details of your Wi-Fi, when you have a VPN on, it just changes from ISP providers to the VPN employers, a network admin can see that you are connected to a VPN server, and some stuff will be changed like for instance:
device A is not using a vpn and says "Hello" to device B, a network admin can see this but, with a VPN on, that has an encrypted tunnel such as SSL, then the "hello" would become something random such as "sdjsadka" whilst everything else stays the same.

The answer is theoretically yes, but realistically it's not going to be.

..so I know my landlord isp provider can log and track etc what I do on either computer. But will my employers, who provided the desktop for me to use at home, be able to see what I'm doing on my own personal laptop which uses a Wi-Fi provided by my landlord.

As Tom says, it can be tracked by sniffing. But realistically... why would they do that?
