I got my conditional 2-year green card on 01/18/2018 that has been extended by 18 months with the I-751 filing, so that one expires 07/18/2021.

 

Since the condition of my green card is my marriage to my wife; and it is only required 3 years of having my green card before I can file the N-400 for naturalization. Does that mean I can file for it 01/18/2021? or do I have to wait until I get my new green card? or one year after I get it? or three years?

You should be able to apply 90 days before your eligibility date, which is 3 years after the date you became a permanent resident. There should be a date on your card, that says "resident since", that is the date you became a permanent resident. 

 

I believe somewhere on the USCIS website, there is a calculator where you can enter the date you became a permanent resident, and it will tell you when you are eligible to file.
