As for me seeing ads on msn.com and www.cracked.com, I suppose it’s because the source of those ads aren’t in the lists used by pi-hole by default?

In some cases yes.
Some sites publish ads from their own site (dont use 3rd party ad distributor).
Those ads are impossible to block for Pi-hole using just DNS.

From the Netgear screenshot, it seems its lacking particular DHCP server options to get Pi-hole running properly.
It does not allow you to set DNS servers for the clients via its DHCP service.
Best option is to disable the DHCP server on the Netgear box entirely and as replacement, use Pi-hole's DHCP service instead:

How do I use Pi-hole's built in DHCP server (and why would I want to)?

Using Your Existing Router For Network-wide Ad Blocking You might not need to use Pi-hole's DHCP server: In many home environments, your router also functions as your DHCP server. In this case, you can often set Pi-hole to be the DNS server for your network clients in the router's DHCP (or LAN) settings page, which allows all of your network clients to block ads simply by connecting to the network. Setting it up this way is also what makes Pi-hole very powerful for network-wide ad blocking. W…
