Q: Had to setup new my Linux laptop, now can't ssh to Sailfish phone no more. What can I do?

That doesn’t look like key issues, it looks like wrong IP - like another device with no ssh sever.
Run ssh with -v and see what is really going on before guessing on remedies.

Once in a blue moon i need to reboot my phone or router for odd breakages like this. But i assume you have done basics like that before asking?

And also, didn’t you have the same issue before?
Yes, yes you did: SSH + SFTP access to phone lost
