Probably not. It doesn't seem to have any Ethernet ports for a start. I think it's aimed more at being a wifi-enabled device that can do somewhat more complicated things locally.
The board has an ethernet switch built in, with all the pins for it broken out. You're going to have to supply your own magnetics and jacks for it though. The chip in it [1] is very much built around routing lots and lots of packets. I kinda wish they'd have released a board based on its bigger sibling with PCIe, though.

Would this be a good router?

Doesn't appear so. It has one 802.11 interface - so it could receive from upstream, or send downstream, but not both.
