Does the resolv.conf still contain that data?
Yes

Yes, works great even from a rock64 out in the garage.
Do a "sudo route -n" and see if you get a valid gateway, "UG" address.
Then describe your hardware arrangement precisely please

debian.proxad.net pings just fine from a stretch install on an arm64
machine:
rock64@rock64:/media/slash/home/rock64$ ping debian.proxad.net

Something is wrong with his gateway, or dns.
Thanks for all your comments, I repeated my attempt to install as follows:

External CD/DVD reader Samsung SE-S084.
Router: TP-Link 450M Wireless N Gigabit Model No. TL-WR1043ND. No IPv6
"Graphical expert install"
1. Configure the keyboard (AZERTY)
2. Detect and mount CD-ROM
3. Load installer components from CD

4. Detect network hardware
Missing firmware files are: rt2680.bin Load? [X] No
5. Configure the network
enp0s4: Silicon Intergrated Systems [SiS] 190 Ethernet Adapter

6. Choose enp0s4 as primary
7. Auto-configure networking? Yes
IPv6 + DHCP, set hostname and domain name.

It looks as if the network setup in the EeePC is correct, but wget fails.
Any suggestion would be very welcome, Roger
