Even home routers sometimes try to police DNS traffic and I would expect there is a bug in the code doing that.
As this is a ISP supplied router (if my Google Foo is accurate) report the fault to the ISP. It is their job to fix it. If it wasn't a ISP supplied router, update the router firmware and see if the problem goes away. If that doesn't work. Try to report the bug to the router manufacture. If you can't do that return the router requesting a full refund as it is not fit for purpose. Suppliers and manufactures need to get some pushback on broken products.
