Will router in AP mode work like a hub?

Hello community.

 

When I upgrade to a RAX120, I'm looking to switch my R8500 (and if all goes well, my v.old WNDR3700 too) into AP mode.

When these devices are switched to AP mode, will the RJ45 ports (other than the yellow ports linked to the RAX120) continue to function, as I'd like to use them as hubs to connect legacy / non-wireless equipment?

 

Thank you in advance for your collective experience.
