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 !

Yes. Please check out the following Apple Support article for details on setting up an extended Wi-Fi network with multiple Apple base stations.
