Netgear R6230
Could I add an access point to this router to create a small mesh?

The R6230 is a basic router from 2017, around the time that Mesh appeared.
There is nothing to prevent you from adding an access point and using the same SSID and password for the wifi, but it will never be a Mesh system. That depends on the router and AP talking to each other.
