I would remove the routers IP.

Are you trying to join using Administrator ?

I take it you are trying to join using the GUI, perhaps using
powershell might work, see here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/add-computer?view=powershell-5.1

You could then specify which DC to use during the join.
