There's your answer in the ssh channel message: there is no route to
there from here.

The routing for the target workstation is different between the two
systems (router and laptop). The fault - if that's what it is - will be
either on the router or on the workstation, and it will either be a fault
of omission (you've lost a route in your routing table) or superimposition
(you've added an incorrect route to the routing table).
