Should do. It offers 1000BASE-T on the WAN and LAN ports.

To see which sort of wifi your now ageing (2018) router supports, Manuals are always a good place to start.
Visit the support pages:

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
As the title for this section says, WiFi 5.
Firmware will not update that.
But do you have Wifi 6 clients that can used it?
