There was no need to post this 3 times.

OpenDNS, as the implies, is a DNS based service. That means it knows nothing about URL's, websites, webpages, content, or anything else that is not a DNS lookup of a domain name. And as a DNS based service it cannot give you a comprehensive record of internet activity since it only logs activity if a DNS lookup is necessary. If it's already in a cache somewhere nothing will be sent to OpenDNS. Also, since it's DNS activity it will tell you about all DNS activity, including lookups from applications for anything from reading email that has links in it, to ads on webpages someone is looking at.

The free OpenDNS Home cannot break down activity by individual computer or user. It only tells you about the totality of all activity from your network. However many devices that is will depend on how you have configured OpenDNS on your network.

If you want to break down DNS activity by machine or user you'll need to use one of the pay services that uses an agent or an in-network virtual machine that can differentiate that kind of additional information.

"here is showing only my pc activity"

Why do you think so?  Did you configure the OpenDNS resolver addresses only on your PC?  If you configure them on your router, then all DNS traffic of all devices in your LAN is being logged.

Btw, both WiFi and ethernet cable is LAN.  It's most likely not possible to differenciate.  It doesn't matter if the carrier is cupper cable or microwaves or bluetooth or what.
