I had no internet connection to my tablet.These two sentences are confusing. If nothing happened, then all should be fine.
Or do you mean:
"I tested it by unplugging the computer and I had no internet connection to my tablet."
How does the tablet connect to the Internet?
Can it see the wifi from the router?

Yes.
The router will continue to broadcast wifi. You can also plug other things into its Ethernet ports.
Other then the wired connection, there is nothing else going on between the computer and the router. Test it by unplugging the computer and seeing what happens.
