I have never used SSH, and do not know how to.
With on home router only two laptops in main use (openSUSE 15.1) for
wife (WiFI) and self (eth cable) and another very old laptop (eth cable)
used only to keep spare access to emails, but has two hard drives
spinning rust type one with OS, one with very old data on it used
occasional.

a) I understand security access of SSH, but what other advantage?


I have much the same query. I have a desktop computer and a laptop in my study upstairs (smallest bedroom). My wife has a laptop downstairs. My daughter has a laptop at her home. They all run Linux and I look after them all.

I have no need to access any of those computers except physically. Certainly I never need to contact them via the internet. So, unless I am misunderstanding the role of SSH, I do not need it.

Or am I missing something here?
