I sure as heck would not want my offices primary feed to be wireless....what are the chances you can run a CAT6 from your office to one of that routers LAN ports?

This is the router.

If we connect this to the in-wall sockets is there potential to set up VLANs for each office? (5 in total)

Yes, it looks like it has VLAN support.

Send me a mail if you need help setting it up, shouldn't be that hard even though it uses a GUI

The other issue is that whoever controls the router can use packet sniffing accross any of the vlans. Not exactly secure if you have no control of the router.

Is there a reason why you couldn't have your own broadband connection brought in soley for you?
