I need to know if I can use a nest router (not a wifi point, the router itself) as an access point with my current router but I can't seem to find a definitive answer. I want to plug the nest router into my existing asus router and use the nest router as an access point to extend the range of my current wifi network. Is this possible or do I need to go with a standard router?

Only if you wire it by ethernet cable and set it (Nest Wifi router) up in bridge mode. It won't wirelessly mesh with anything other than Google Wifi and Nest Wifi.
