That sounds like your router/firewall is trying to track all the NTP
clients and exceeding the maximum number of connections.
Is connection tracking disabled for the NTP port?
With iptables it can be configured like this:
iptables -t raw -I PREROUTING -p udp -m udp --dport 123 -j CT --notrack
iptables -t raw -I OUTPUT -p udp -m udp --sport 123 -j CT --notrack
