AX1800
Is it possible to use the AX1800 with a Fritzbox 7530AX mesh router, using the Fritzbox as one node and having the AX1800 in a different room to extend the signal? Thanks

Which one? AX1800 is not a reliable guide to model number. Many devices come with an AX tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and other brands, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
Look at the label on the device for the model number.

Possibly putting this unknown AX1800 into wireless access point mode. But you probably won't get a combined Mesh network.
Manuals are always a good place to start.
Visit the support pages:

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

You may have done that already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear gave up on supplying paper manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
