ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.49 port 22:No route to host (Wifi adapter on laptop)

Question

I know the problem I am going to mention can be found everywhere, but none of the solutions proposed didn't help so I decided to ask for suggestions that may lead to a solution here, specialised for my issue. Let me firstly describe my issue from the beginning:

I have a laptop which runs Ubuntu 16.04 and in which I have plugged a wifi adapter -so I can have better range from the wifi device that the laptop has- and I want to ssh to a raspberry pi 3 I have, which runs Raspbian Jessie, by using the ssh command. I am generally new to networking, so I have ran all the diagnostic commands that I have found that may show a solution to the issue and still I cannot see what maybe it's wrong. It's important to say that I have checked in both computers the ufw status and it's inactive and in both computers ssh is installed. To be more specific about the diagnostic network commands:

• Laptop (Ubuntu 16.04):

  I have disabled the laptop's wifi device and I am only using the wifi adapter and I ran:

At my laptop I ran:

ssh [email protected]

and I get the following error after 1-2 seconds:

ssh:connect to host 192.168.1.49 port 22: No route to host

I don't know what causes this issue, so I would appreciate your suggestions and answers.

I haven't tested the laptop connection without the wifi adapter because the wifi device on my laptop doesn't work properly. So the adapter is a must, unless I use an ethernet connection between the two computers, but I want to leave this as a final option.

After techraf's comment:

I have also enabled the SSH server on the raspberry, because it was one the first solutions I found from googling my issue.

After Steve Robillard's suggestion:

Answer 1

To set up my headless Linux SBC's, I NEVER plug in a keyboard, mouse or display:

IMO, the easiest way to enable SSH, is to add a file, SSH (no extension) into the boot partition (also accessible via most Windows machines). Just to be safe and not waste my time, I also add a file called ssh.txt there.

You'll need network connectivity. To configure Wi-Fi, copy /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf from an existing device or create a new wpa_supplicant.conf like:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=AU

network={
        ssid="YOUR_SSID"
        psk="YOUR_PSK"
}

and copy it into the boot partition. Note: You may want to change your county ID for compliance. Done!

Answer 2

Check if your Wi-Fi has enabled CLIENT ISOLATION in settings. This option allows all Wi-Fi clients to access internet but doesn't allow to access other clients in the local network.

If you can try to connect your laptop and your raspberry to a ethernet switch and you can ping each other, then this is the problem. If you can't connect to a ethernet switch, try to use your mobile phone to "share your connection" and use it to connect the laptop and the Raspberry to the mobile and try to ping each other.
