Hello @memedic95
The shortest, simplest answer is: no – adding them as mesh access points to a Linksys mesh network won't work.
The brief explanation of why has to do with mesh protocols, security, and management. Even if the systems happened to use the same core mesh protocol (Google uses 802.11s, but some other vendors have their own), the security and management protocols wouldn't be compatible as those aspects are proprietary to each vendor.
