Your router really can't be blamed, it does just that, route traffic, it
does'nt care what you let through it...
Some firewalls on the other hand does'nt handle FTP well, unless PASV mode
is used.

If you check with tcpdump you'll most probably see that the authentication
goes quite well, but that the data traffic is stopped in the FW.
