I think you have some of the terminology confused. Apple likes to call all of its wireless devices "Airports", this includes the wireless adapter in your Mac as well as their wireless routers. If you already have a wireless router (the Westell device you're referring to), you have no need for an additional router. Simply click the Airport control (in the menu bar, near the clock - looks like a fan) and then choose your Westell wireless network from the list of networks.
