Question
Is it possible to create a homegroup in Windows 10 (with all terminals), in which there are 2 routers, one main router and one extending it (connected on an Ethernet port of the main router)?

I don't think you can create a homegroup if you have a router that isolates networks.
These types of resource sharing systems typically use broadcast and multicast IP addresses to discover other equipment. And this type of traffic cannot traverse routers.
But, you have a very simple option:
If you do not require a second network (the one generated by the router) isolated from the previous one, instead of connecting the second router to its WAN port, connect it to the LAN ports (turning off DHCP and modifying the router IP so it does not conflict with the main router) or configure it to be in bridge mode (if possible... many can't)
