on the face of it, it seems to cover what your after and more so perhaps yes, i cant say for sure as i dont know it.

or if theres a 3rd party firmware to increase the options you might want to add later, do a search and see, but that first link says Operating System : Linux so thats a good indication it might.

heres a better page with more of its info

Interfaces:

• 4 x network - Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T - RJ-45
• 1 x network - Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T - RJ-45 ( WAN ) "

obviously the 1 gig WAN will be half asleep with even the 20Mbit connection but your wired LAN will benefit greatly with some cheap 1gig network cards installed and pluged into this or something like it.
