Thank you, the choice of search terms makes a big difference!
That has led to another puzzle: The Pi2 is on a wifi dongle that
reports a connection using 192.168.1.10 and successfully downloads
RasPiOS updates. However, turning on ssh using the Raspberry>
Preferences> Raspberry Pi Configuration menu and rebooting doesn't
allow ssh login. Indeed, my DHCP server doesn't seem to notice
that the Pi2 is connected and ping from my Pi5 to the Pi2 reports
"host is unreachable".
It wouldn't be a huge mystery if the WiFi couldn't connect, but the combination of the Pi2 claiming 192.168.1.10 and yet not being
visible strikes me as inexplicable unless the software updates are
being downloaded vi some non-IP protocol, which seems implausible.
The only clue so far is that traceroute 192.168.1.10 on the Pi5 reports: traceroute to 192.168.1.10 (192.168.1.10), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1 192.168.1.11 (192.168.1.11) 3077.790 ms !H 3077.735 ms !H 3077.730 ms !H
To clarify, the Pi5 is .11, the router is .254 and I don't know what the traceroute output means but it looks like a complaint about time.
Three possible things to check:-
1 - Are the two Pis on the same subnet? I.e. while you have told us
the whole address for the Pi2 (192.168.1.10) you have only given the
last digit for the Pi5 and the router. What are the full IPV4
addreses for the Pi5 and the router. Certainly some widely used
routers default to 192.168.0.254 and I'm wondering if that is your
problem. Maybe you even have *two* subnets on the router.
2 - Are you using the 'guest' WiFi of the router, this may prevent
connecting between different systems using the WiFi. This may even be possible to configure with non-guest networks. You'll have to look
into the router configuration to check.
3 - Is the Pi2 connected to the same network/router as the Pi5? Are
you sure it's using DHCP to get its address? If so then you should be
able to check on the router that it's connected to as it is the router
that is handing out IP addresses (usually).
The first thing I would be doing is to look at the routers's Web GUI
to check what it thinks is going on and what is connected to where.

The DHCP range is limited to 192.168.1.nnn, with no distinction between
wired and wireless connections. There's clearly bridging from wirless to wired devices such as the printer, which works and can be pinged.
Maybe there's a firewall between wireless clients. I've certainly not needed such connections much. I'll poke around on the Web to see if there are any references to Guest Mode online. The internal help pages are close to useless,
and the configuration menus are worse.

Unfortunately at one location I have to use an externally managed
router/AP which bridges wireless and wired networks, but not between
2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi.
I couldn't talk to a Pi Zero which only uses 2.4GHz from the laptop
which had connected to 5GHz. I had to go via another Raspberry Pi which
was connected by Ethernet and could see devices both WiFi frequencies.
Check if your wireless settings for the router have something called "AP Isolation" or very similar and if it is enabled. If it is enabled,
devices connected by WiFi will not be able to access each other. Turn it
off in this case.

Hmm, nothing related that I have seen. The term "access point" doesn't
appear in the manual or setup menus, nor "isolation" or anything close
to it.
It isn't clear that I've completely searched the Web interface setup
options, however. And a few topics I don't recognize. One is "Virtual Server", described as:
Virtual Server is used to allow Internet users access to LAN services
At face value, that seems not to apply.
Another is "Special Application", described as:
Special Application is used to run applications that require multiple connections.
But, the "special applications" list refers to games.
The firewall rules dangled an option to allow LAN-to-LAN traffic,
but when I tried to set a rule using the DHCP addresses a dialog
box saying:
Allow/Deny traffic from WAN to WAN or LAN to LAN does not support! (sic)
There's no distinction between WiFi and wired LAN that I can find.

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.
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.
Thanks very much for all your help!

It's possible it is always enabled. The router has been obsolete for 14 years, maybe time for a new one?

Another recommendation: Look for something that can run OpenWRT, so you're not stuck with whatever firmware the router manufacturer provides.
A third recommendation: a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 and a carrier board that adds a second Ethernet port make a pretty good platform to run OpenWRT. The CPU and memory on the CM4 will blow the doors off of most of the routers you'd likely buy for home use, and I suspect they're competitive with nearly anything short of rack-mountable enterprise-grade routers.

That's AP Isolation at work. It stops Wifi devices communicating with
each. The idea is if you have lots of guest devices connecting, AP
Isolation stops them talking direct to each other and is meant to limit
a rogue guest device ability to do bad things to other guests.

The problem is solved, and I'm feeling quite stupid about the solution.
It turns out that setting a reserved DHCP address for the wireless client
MAC address un-isolates hosts on WiFi. Ssh and ping work now. Interestingly, setting a static address at the client end, by itself, does not lift the isolation. An old iMac with a static IP connected to the LAN via a WiFi- Ethernet bridge still can't be pinged but connects outbound just fine.
On reflection it makes perfect sense.....
I've played with the idea of getting an open-wrt-compatible router in the past, but dropped the idea after finding nothing suitable at the local
thrift store. Perhaps I should look again.

High praise. Which Draytek router BTW? I had one a few years ago but it
was strangely broken and I eventually had to return it and as it was out
of production I just got a refund. I went with a fairly awful Mikrotik
until I got around to building my own from a PC Engines APU2 board.
I really like how Draytek puts a simulation of their web interface

Why a compute module especially?

You're stuck with USB network adapters if you use a Pi 4. With a CM4, there are carrier boards that route the built-in Ethernet to one port and connect
a second port over PCIe. This is the one I use:

Not all Asus routers can run Asuswrt-Merlin but there's a fair number

secondhand on eBay or from such as CEX.
The user interface GUI is really nice (though quite complex because

I have a 20/130Mbps cable package. My road was fibred and the same

It won't take long until most ISPs will want to get rid of the double infrastructure VDSL/Fibre, it may happen soon that you will have to

Is it? I haven't been too sure OpenWRT has the manpower to provide
timely security updates, I especially wondered about this around when
the LEDE project seemed to fork off. Which is why I looked elsewhere. I assume asuswrt-merlin is also a small team but don't really know.
