I am thinking about getting an airport extreme to make my printer wireless. I am wondering if I can also use it as my wireless router rather than the Motorola? (my understanding is that the AE is n, but the Motorola is g). If I run from the ethernet port on the Motorola to the AE will I be able to set it up as the primary wireless network and operate at higher (n) speeds? Thanks for any help.

Sure... you can pretty much ignore (or even disable) the g network coming from the Motorola and only use the n network from the AEBS.
