    Follow this first...  Airport Express Manual. If you have confused the express, you will need to factory reset it before Airport Utility will recognize it maybe. I assume the white cable is the power.  The yellow should be ethernet running from Internet modem and in the WAN port.   The manual explains.  Follow manual exactly.  It works.  Let us know if you get stuck.
