Will Time Capsule router work with Airport Express as extender?

I use my A1355 Time Capsule as the wifi router in our house. To improve signal strength in some areas, I'm thinking of using an extender. Would an A 1264 Airport Express (which a friend is getting rid of) do the job as well as an Airport Extreme, and does it matter which generation of either I use for the purpose?

iMac, macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)

The AirPort Express will not come close the performance offered by an AirPort Extreme, but it might be good enough for what you want to do.

Borrow the AirPort Express for a day or two, and try it out. Locate the AirPort Express about half way between the Time Capsule and the general area where you need additional wireless signal coverage.
