Changing my wireless network.

I have an iMac , iPad, iPhone , Apple TV , other laptop and a wireless Brother printer.


My house has 2 floors.


Today I have a router and a repeater ( expand for another PC in my upper level room )


I want to change it as follows :


Buy and put a new AirPort Extreme connected vie Ethernet cable to my iMac.

This will serve my iMac locally and iPhone , iPad Apple TV and the laptop by wifi.


In the upper floor, buy a new airport express to expand the wifi from the extreme , and also print wireless.


Is it possible to use the AirPort Extreme and the airport express together as describe ?

Thank you !
