can't ssh from host to remote

What I think you are doing is using NAT between your 2 networks. Below 
is my approximation of your system patched together from your comments...
1. You have the router that is connected to your ISP. It is performing 
NAT and handing out a private network to anything on its LAN and WIFI 
interfaces.
2. You have a second router that has its Internet/WAN interface 
connected to one of the LAN interfaces on the first router. It is also 
performing NAT and handing out a second private network on its LAN and 
WIFI interfaces.

You WOULD be able to connect via SSH from a device connected to the 
router listed in point 2 to a device connected to the router listed in 
point 1. You WOULD NOT be able to connect from the device connected to 
the router listed in point 2 FROM a device connected to the router 
listed in point 1 due to NAT.

There are ways to get beyond this and only have one network utilizing 2 
SOHO routers. I would always recommend for anyone who has limited 
network experience to only use one router and use a combination of 
switches and access points to extend wired LANs and provide better WIFI 
coverage. If the setup is how I described, you may have other issues due 
to DOUBLE NAT that you just have not recognized yet.
