Can a 4-port wireless Linksys router accommodate more than four devices if
some are wireless? I.e., does each device, whether wireless or hard-wired,
take up a port?

There is no limit by physical port. You could attach a hub or switch to one of
the ports, and gain another 3 (or 7, or whatever) ports.

The only real limit is the size of the subnet, the scope of the DHCP setup, and
/ or the processor power on the router.
