Turn Linksys cable router into regular router

I have some BEFSR41 Linksys cable routers.  Does anyone know to turn these into regluar network routers that can route to different subnets?  i.e. route traffic from a 192.x.x.x subnet to a 10.x.x.x.
This will save me having to purchase routers.

Thanks,

I don't think its that easy.  I set it to router.  I assigned the Wan port as 10.1.1.1 and the lan port 192.168.1.1. I plug a 192.x.x.x computer into port 1 and can ping 10.1.1.1.
I plug a 10.1.1.2 computer into the wan port and for one thing I don't link lights when I plug directly into wan port, second, I can't ping 10.1.1.1 from my 10.1.1.2 computer.

Any ideas?
You have to use a crossover cable in the WAN port, or uplink it to another hub or switch...
Do you need more information?
