Yes, I can.

DHCP picked that address. I first configured the Linksys router offline
then attached it to the WAN router and the address 192.168.1.7 showed up
on the Linksys setup window.

I had no problem configuring it to a different subnet. With the factory
defaults the LAN address of the Linksys router is 192.168.1.1 but since
that conflicts with the WAN router's adresses I had to chose something
else. When you then pick 192.168.2.1 and commit it you'll just have to
logon to http://192.168.2.1 to continue configuring it. Piece of cake.
