Compatability of Nest wifi products & wifi extenders

Hi! I just bought a fairly large home, and I'm waiting for a fiber connection (will arrive in 3-6 months), in the meantime I have 4G. I'm looking for a mesh setup to have wifi in my entire home (basement till attic). My 4G router does not support bridge mode, does that leave me with only wifi-extenders? 

 

If so, I found a Nest wifi extender online (on a Swedish website), but I can not find it in the Google Store. Is this truly a wifi extender, or just a router / satellite marketed as an extender (which will not work with my router not able to act as a bridge..). How can I check what is what?

 

Final question: anything wifi5 is not compatible with the new Nest Wifi Pro right?

Nest Wifi is not a regular Wi-Fi extender or repeater, and thus is not compatible with other wireless systems. More info:


I don't work for Google.
