Another solution is to not make changes to the router but to change the network setup to get an address only and then put in a dns server of your choosing. Since it's linux you can run a DNS server on the box it self. Other DNS server that you can use would be Google's DNS and OpenDNS, which should resolve the problem.
The problem seems to be that the router is older and doesn't support IPv6 properly and therefore causes problems. The DNS setting pointing to the Router means that the router is being used as DNS proxy and isn't handeling the IPv6 DNS lookup properly.
