When I open macincloud it is stuck on a screen saying connecting to desktop, configuring remote PC. When I emailed their support, they said it might be an issue with my network firewall, but I don't know how to accesses that.
macincloud is suppose to connect my windows computer to a remote mac pc, so i can use software exclusive to mac.

As microchip8 has explained, you can't get at the router's firewall. But tech people often as used that as a "I don't know what is happening so let's pass the buck" response.
Windows PCs certainly have a built in firewall.
I cant tell if this download is supposed to run on a Windows PC or something Mac.
It doesn't seem like the issue is with your Netgear router.
