The passphrase on NETGEAR is different with the passphrase on your Belkin router. So you need to put in your 10 or 26 character code on the key 1 box of the extender wizard.
I'm having the same problem. My wireless light on the Belkin router is flashing indicating a problem with the wireless. After about an hour, I got the PC to Extender light to go solid but neither my PC nor Xbox will connect to it with Internet. I keep getting stuck on the "you're one step away from completing the installation" page.
I don't understand what Strider means by "10 or 26" character code.
I logged into the router and added the WPS pin manually, but that didn't do anything. Or at least I don't think so. Like I said, I have four lights right now but nothing will connect.
