You can chain routers. disable the isp router's wifi, or just ignore it. Then place your router of choice on the LAN side of the ISP's router as the its Ethernet client. Make up a new subnet of your choice on your router's LAN side and use its wifi and DHCP.

Not necessarily. Turn off NAT on your router. ISP router then needs a static route sending traffic for your LAN via your router's WAN IP.
