Is there a way to specify the DNS server that the Netgear gives to DHCP clients? At present DHCP clients get the cable providers DNS servers, a 208 subnet. Is there a need to specify the router. or is it implied somehow, even if the DHCP server doesn't specify the router?

I've never seen a consumer-grade Netgear router which offered any supported way to change such DHCP parameters. Lease time is another one which appears in requests from time to time.
The usual suggestion is to run another DHCP server (perhaps on a Raspberry Pi?), and disable the one on the Netgear router.

They do? I don't see how. I'd expect any Netgear router to offer itself as the DNS server; otherwise the "routerlogin" names couldn't work. (The Netgear router would forward normal DNS requests to the DNS server(s) specified in its BASIC > Internet settings, which might or might not be your ISP's DNS server(s).)
