A couple things you can try.
1. a different dns server than the isp's. You can try googles at 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 or cloudfar at 1.1.1.1
2. factory reset the router and reinstall it. The RAX devices have gotten quite a few firmware updates and they were released before the AX spec was even finalized. This has caused them to respond favorably to factory resets if there's issues.

If I got into the Circle app and change my device from the filter level of “Adult” to “None” then I can access the website without being asked for login information. So I’m wondering if there is some kind issue between the Circle app and the router.
I will try your suggestions to see if there is any changes when my device is set the Adult filter level in the Circle app.
