Airport Express set up

I chose the "use own router" option, intending to use Plusnet with an Airport Express. I could not get the latter set up properly, using the Airport Utility, before the switch-over from broadband service. (The Airport's amber flashing light never changes to green). I read that the Express can be used as a base station, not just an extender. How can I connect the Plusnet service to the Express (without having to wait for 5 days before a Plusnet router arrives by 2nd class post). The DSL modem from my previous service no longer works, but I should be able to set up the Express as a stand-alone router, right?
Is there a website that sets how to input the right settings manually? I've looked on the plusnet website and it refers to PPPoA settings. I can only find "PPPoE" settings using the airport utility. I tried recording the correct DNS, but that won't do much on its own.
Sorry if this doesn't make much sense. I'm not familiar with the process and have to use the terminology without understanding it.
Very grateful for any help.

you will need a standalone DSL modem to use along with the airport express.

I can't connect to the router. It's a BT home hub 2 and the "broadband" light, 2nd down, which should be blue, stays red.
I'm connecting via a dongle at the moment.
The plusnet instructions say "connect your computer to the router and then (go to the address given)", but I can't do that, as it does not connect to the internet.
