All traffic from that device is going to pass through the router. In order to start communicating with the other device, the first device has to send a packet. The router sees that packet, and routes it to the other device. If there's no internet connection, things die here, but the router still saw that initial packet.
Sorry, I realized I misread your earlier post. I missed the word "trying," and it sounded like your were saying the device might not be connected to the internet even though it's successfully pinging a server.
Lol, no worries.
