CPE210 and Google WIFI Mesh Question

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone has used a CPE210 with Google Wifi Mesh?
Right now my layout is like this:
- DSL Modem in bridge mode
- Google WIFI Router plugged into DSL Modem
- Two More Google WIFI points connected to the Google WIFI Router
- TP Link CPE210 mounted to outside of garage. (around 75-100ft from house)
- TP Link CPE210 Connected in "Client Mode" to Google WIFI in the house.
- Old Belkin Router connected to TP Link CPE210 (running as seperate network)
Everything works fine this way, except the router is very old and doesnt put out a strong signal. Connecting the CPE210 to my laptop and running a speedtest though, it does get the full internet download and upload speed that I have.
The layout I would like to have is this:
- DSL Modem in bridge mode
- Google WIFI Router plugged into DSL Modem
- Two More Google WIFI points connected to the Google WIFI Router
- TP Link CPE210 mounted to outside of garage. (around 75-100ft from house)
- TP Link CPE210 Connected in "Client Mode" to Google WIFI in the house.
- Another Google WIFI Access Point connected via ethernet to CPE210 (preferably connected as part of the same network or in the same mesh)
Does anyone know if this should work in this way? Or should I set the CPE210 into a different mode. I tried connecting the belkin router as an access point so that everything would be part of the same network, but when I would connect more than one device, all devices connected to the CPE210 and belkin router would lose internet access. Im not sure I had the dns settings and all setup correctly on the CPE210 or the belkin router though.
I tried once to connect the CPE210 in Bridge mode and once in Repeater mode but both times it just went haywire. I could connect devices to it, but no devices had internet access and some times it would just stop working. Or when I would login to the CPE210 in bridge or repeater mode, it would just refresh the page every few seconds and I couldn't make any changes without resetting it via the button on the bottom.
Thank you very much, I am decent with pc's, but not very good at networking. Any help is appreciated.
