The Settings/Network display shows two Wired entries; the top wireless
one is  working (TIAllAccess);  
the lower Wired entry is for the DSL router .That correctly says "Cable
unplugged" and clicking on Options shows "Error editing" and No entry
found for UUID null or similar.

Maybe that is a clearer description of the problem that prevents the
wireless router connecting automatically?
Thanks again for trying. Chas.
