Is there a wireless router that will record web addresses of users surfing the internet?
I have a small office and wondering if there is a wireless router that will let me know what websites people are clicking onto?

Not that I am aware of == you need a 'Proxy server' between the users and the 'real' Internet (which, to be honest, if you are running a Business, you should already have).
NB. I hope your Wireless is secure ?
The wireless router should connect to a 'DMZ' port on your main Internet router (so that there is a firewall between the wireless users and your internal network) - incoming Wireless access should be regarded as just as dangerous as 'raw' internet (hackers, port scanners etc etc)
You should also be running WPA2 encryption plus RADIUS authentication ... (otherwise there is little to stop non-employees using your router to surf the net ... or 'hackers' browsing your internal system looking for 'interesting' files to download - you might think 'I don't have anything of interest' but your employee name / address/ salary and bank details could end up being sold on ebay ...)

Some routers can be configured to log network activity in this way, and produce usage reports. Talk to your ISP or network provider for suggestions.
