@Kathrynday123  yes you can use your own router, in fact I have the same one.

EE have a handy help page for the settings:

https://ee.co.uk/help/broadband/getting-started/using-and-configuring-a-third-party-router 

specifically :

Fibre

Connection type:	Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)
Broadband username or login name:	bthomehub@btbroadband.com
Broadband password:	BT (or leave blank)
Authentication:	CHAP
DNS:	Auto or Obtain from ISP (we'll automatically provide these when you connect)
VLAN:	Active
VLAN ID (802.1q):	101
VLAN ID (802.1p):	0

Let us know if you have any issues.

Post the WAN/Internet Settings page of your router.

@Kathrynday123   how far are you getting, and are you using the quick setop or trying to do it the long way?
