7800N, WPS and a repeater - how do I

PREAMBLE
I have a 7800N
I am using WPA (not WPA/2)
I have a Netgear WN2000 Repeater
I use Ubuntu 11.10 on my computer.
I am no guru and am 72

SO FAR
I have printed out pages 68-78 of the manual
I have enabled WPS
I have jotted down the pin and the number I had to enter

QUESTION
What do I do next?

PROBLEM
The manual mentions a Windows program which, naturally I don't have RAD something or other
I cannot see a button on the 7800N although I can see the one on the Netgear Repeater.

If anyone can help, I'd be very grateful.

All of a sudden, on my cellphone, a webpage opened up to the repeater and all I had to do was to follow the instructions. Nothing in the written instrctions about a webpage.

Now all working perfectly.

Just hope I get it working with the Asus Transporter Prime I will buy as soon as the April model is released. And the Galaxy S3 when it comes out. But I don't think I should have any real problems with new gear, it's just the old stuff I really worry about.
