I am going to move out and share an apartment with the landlord, I will be able to use his internet wirelessly, will he be able to use my internet browsing history, my download, torrents and activities? I am fearing about the privacy issue here.
As far as I know most if not all Routers have a history log.
The landlord could probably see where you went (IP address) in the Router log.
i have a BT home hub 3 and there is no history log , i have checked again and nothing , a quick google came up blank also, so i guess if some routers do keep a log then its worth finding out what router it is and check to see if it keeps a log.
i should imagine that log would be massive even after a few days browsing,
where would it be stored?
A search for router logs or router history logs should find plenty of hits.
Here's a couple articles I found.

How to Configure Your Router for Network Wide URL Logging - How-To Geek
interesting read ,thanks david.
i googled for history log in the BT home hub 3 which is my router model,thats what came up blank more or less, and there is no history in the hub that i can find.
the only logs on the hub manager is the events log but that is a different thing.
You're welcome.
Yea, it seems what info is logged depends on router make/model.
I've got a Uverse 2wire Gateway right now, and i don't see much in those logs.
mine is provided by the isp, so i guess they may have extensive logs. maybe not. it seems a bit big brother to me.
