Router software does sometimes have bugs.  I have a TP-link router
that has a symptom a bit like yours, I can't remember the exact
details (it's relegated to being an access point now) but I do
remember that it was something about the firewall treating WiFi
connections differently from wired ones.

 That's much like what I'm seeing.

Can you temporarily connect the Pi2 using a wired connection and see
if it then works as expected?

 The Pi2 has been used on wired ethernet, but under
FreeBSD rather than RasPiOS. The "no route to host" message rather
suggests the issue resides somewhere in the network.
 

No route to host is probably 'I did an ARP request, and nobody answered'

The original trigger for this investigation was wanting to use ssh
to avoid need for a keyboard on the Pi2. With your help I found an
accessibility aid called "onboard", using a temporary keyboard.
For immediate purposes, the problem is solved.
 

Mmm. It would irk me not to have ssh though. Everything here is sshe'd together. Or NFS. Or webbed!

Thanks very much for all your help!
