Use a network switch instead of a router.

any L3 switch should be able to route traffic between networks.
some L2 switches can do that as well

Yes, if you are connecting multiple LANs to make one large LAN, a switch will do the job. If the LANs are all seperate entities (i.e. different subnets) and you are looking to route data between the LANs, you can use any router. A router is used to connect multiple networks. 2 LANs can be connected via a router. One LAN goes in the LAN port of the router, the other LAN goes into the WAN port of the router.
