Basically I’m wondering. When I’m on my home WiFi, how does what I do on it stay on the router? And how can someone see everything I Did on the router? Likewise w/Data?

It depends on the “someone”. If Someone is your Dad the IT Guy, then he’s likely monitoring everything you do, and logging it for later inspection. Your data might be encrypted, if you use good SSL and/or VPN links and Dad’s not so paranoid that he’s installed a deep packet inspection device. All the URLs and their search counterparts isn’t even sent encrypted.
If Someone is the NSA, you should stop being a terrorist, as they’re likely reading everything you write.
If Someone is your little brother the pest, then the router is operating with the ISPs default settings and not saving anything permanently. Turn it off and back on and all’s gone.
