Hi.  No all the hubs basically have 4 ports on them.  The best option if you need more ports is a network switch.  You can get a good one for fairly little money.  Something like a Netgear or TP Link.  For your garden room them best way to do it is to run Ethernet out to it.  Wi-Fi likely wont cut it that distance and through exterior walls.  You could use outdoor rated/direct burial ethernet cable for the run.  If you aren't techy then you could get someone in to do it for you.  AV installer or some electricians will do it but to an exterior building the best way is an ethernet run.  You could then put a switch on the end of it and connect up what ever you want, computers, TV boxes even a WiFi access point.
