I know the Google Nest Router has 2 ethernet ports, but does the Point have any ethernet ports? null

Nest Point does NOT have any ports; only a power cable; and a switch for on/off of the speaker (allows "Hey Google" function, like commands and music). The Google version has ports, so can act as router or point; no speaker/mic switch. Size is different in contour/shape, esp. height and width differences, if you are fitting into a specific spot. / I upgraded from Google to Google Nest on the router and just one point; it says compatible, which it is, but how to do this-- no instructions. I ended up online chatting with Nest tech support, as I had to reset all the older Google points to recognize the new Nest Router. It was a pain; slow (Google Points can be slow, but eventually work)... and it disrupted every smart item I had connected; trying to fix, it canceled my subscriptions during some factory resets; everything had to be reconnected by app or by touching the device. Partly my fault, but a huge problem was no How To guide or instruction for the scenario of switching from Google to Google Nest. It just says "compatible". Probably easier when first setting up. A problem when there is a Google mesh already set up. The company in the app, FAQ, on box... should remind you how to factory reset the (older) Google points.

No, Nest Wifi point doesn't have ethernet ports. Nest Wifi point can be connected to the router wirelessly to extend your coverage and create your mesh system.
