I'm not sure which option i used for the one i'm on, but you can either manually set the airport or go through the assisted procedure which gives you less flexibility over your options.
If you go through manual setup and on the toolbar go to internet, then go to the wireless tab, you have the option to set your connectivity with either an ethernet or via wifi, set up a new wifi network, extend your base wifi via ethernet, and a third mode which goes something like DWS which probably stands for distributed wireless station which i have never used before. Your airport locking up could also mean that your firmware is still 7.4 and should be upgraded to 7.5 which you can do if you are directly connected by ethernet from your airport to your router. Once the airport is identified, you get the automatic option to upgrade. Try that first, then go through the ethernet connectivity as bridge process again.
