Can nest WiFi routers be added as extenders

If I have a nest WiFi router serving my home, can I add another nest WiFi router to function as an extender? Or do extenders have to be nest WiFi points.

Google Wifi, Nest Wifi add-on point and Nest Wifi router can all be used as extenders/secondaries. Just don't try to mix them with Nest Wifi Pro as it is not backwards compatible.
