Does make it sound like it is the router connect to the internet that is broken and not the tablet connection to the router. If you have a computer or another tablet that connects to the internet via the same router, see if you can access a website using it. If there isn't a connection on the alternate device, rebooting the router and maybe the modem (if separate) is a first step.
