Netgear Portforwarding Problem

Hi, i have a Netgear CG4500BD and a nighthawk.
Im having issues at playing a game online with my friends (Minecraft, hosting a server) 

it seems as if the CG4500 is the "host" if you will. It has all the lines running into it, while there is a ethernet cable running from it into the nighthawk, so I guess both are in play. But when I look into the setting of the CG4500BD it says Modem Status. I'm relatively new to this so sorry if there is any confusion.

    You would need to forward the ports on the CG4500BD for the Server and also make sure you have your Nighthawk router set to be a access point which you can get to in Advanced-Advanced setup-Wireless settings then select AP mode.
