I fear that "won't work" isn't much to go on.What are you doing and where does it go wrong?
If you can provide a few more details about what you are actually trying to achieve, someone might be able to offer some thoughts.
You might also find it useful to search the community for whatever game server you are trying to set up.
While your question is pretty generic for routers, a modem/.router isn't quite the same thing. You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
Cable Modems & Routers
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
