There is a switch chip in that model, so you can use it as a switch without issue.

Create a bridge, put the ports in the bridge you want switched and so on. Highly recommend you go through the following page to understand more of how switching works on this model and how to configure things.

You will also need to configure all of layer 3 then you can limit bandwidth with simple queues for devices.
