I'm not sure I follow you. Are you suggesting that I connect my laptop
via CAT4 to the router rather than rely on wifi? In any case, I'll try
it.

No, SSH services are enabled in my firewall. That is, under Wireless,
Tools, Services, I have SSH enabled. That seems to imply that my router
(D-Link DSL-2640B) does support SSH via Wireless connection, but I'm not
sure because the D-Link interface I don't find intuitive. That is, I'm
not sure that SSH is enabled for Wireless specifically, or only in
general.
Under Wireless, I have not enabled "wireless guess network" (SSID is
"guest"). All DSL modulations enabled except AnnexM. SRA capability is
not enabled. All LAN access control services are enabled, but no WAN
services are enabled. I assume I needn't worry about WAN configuration.
