There are two ports, One for connecting to your cable modem and one that you could connect a hub to.

There is one port to connect to your modem and another to connect to other devices for WAN/LAN. Each Google Wifi access point has those two ports.

I assume that you want to connect these hubs wirelessly. If that's the case, besides the primary hub, which has to be connected to the internet providers modem. The ethernet ports on the other two hubs can both be used as LAN (for any home device, such as the ones you listed above). So yes, you will still get a total of 4 ports for your use. If you run out of port, simply pick up a network switch they are usually less than $20.

According to Google, besides the main wifi unit, the other unit's WAN and LAN port will both acts as LAN port. So technically speaking every not primary unit has 2 LAN port for connection.
