    Depending on the type of router, there could be a logging ability - incoming and/or outgoing connection information. If it is available, it should be in the configuration pages somewhere.
    The logs would at least let you know what IPs are being connected to. The actual data would not be recorded.
    If you want to block the visiting ipods, go into the router settings and see if there is a MAC filter list and only allow the home devices.

    A wireless router is a device that performs the functions of a router but also includes the functions of a wireless access point. It is commonly used to allow access to the Internet or a computer network without the need for a cabled connection. It can function in a wired LAN (local area network), a wireless only LAN, or a mixed wired/wireless network. Most current wireless routers have the following characteristics:
    LAN ports, which function in the same manner as the ports of a network switch
    A WAN port, to connect to a wide area network, typically one with Internet access. External destinations are accessed using this port. If it is not used, many functions of the router will be bypassed.
    Wireless antennae. These allow connections from other wireless devices (NICs (network interface cards), wireless repeaters, wireless access points, and wireless bridges, for example), usually using the Wi-Fi standard.

    In some wireless router you can watch the activities (log file) of the wireless clients. Those belongs to business categories and I don't think in any SOHO (Small Office Home Office) router this feature is available.

    All you can do is prevent unwanted logon to your wireless network by setting a wireless key.
