Google Nest Mesh - can I connect a new access point with Cat5 cable?

I have an existing nest mesh network with three access points in my home and it works great.  I have a detached garage about 90 feet away from the house that I would like to connect to the network.  Can I run a cat5 cable from an existing access point in my house to a new wifi access point in the detached garage to get a wifi signal there?  I wasn't sure if introducing a cat 5 cable to an existing mesh network would create an issue.  Thanks
