We recommend working through the tutorial and setting up both methods. With this technique you’ll see specifically which computer or device on the network, at what time, accesses what sites.

The second method involved enabling the Sys Log on your router and then pulling that log, putting into a program for analysis (specifically to resolve all those IP address to human readable URLs), and then reading over the list.
