Router software does sometimes have bugs.  I have a TP-link router
that has a symptom a bit like yours, I can't remember the exact
details (it's relegated to being an access point now) but I do
remember that it was something about the firewall treating WiFi
connections differently from wired ones.

Can you temporarily connect the Pi2 using a wired connection and see
if it then works as expected?
