Dont be silly.

What else is a router for? - a real one, not these consumer things. 
Routing between subnets using some kind of routing protocol. In the case 
of local stuff, static routers, For large organisations probably OSPF. 
In the big wide world Where There Be Tygers, BGP.
For end user speeds a Linux box with two nics (or only one) is a 
perfectly adequate router.
