Yes, No, Maybe. It just isn't that simple.

If the Linksys is one of those Cable/DSL Routers then no. Those are NAT
Devices, they are not *real* routers. It is unfortunate that "marketing" has
butchered the dictionary in this area so much. Multiple subnets requires a
real router with multiple LAN Interfaces,...and this has nothing to do with
the Internet or the Device that provides the Internet.

Once you have multiple subnets created, then, *in theory*, you can publish
multiple Sites by using the "static-nat" features of the Internet Sharing
Device (NAT Device). But this may not be as simple as that sounds.
