Ethan,
Port forwarding is a fairly common event.
Can you explain more about "Netgear support wont help me."? Was there a specific reason or some "unexplainable" (not Netgear) error code involved?
Here is a link with instructions relevant to your router.
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Netgear/R6300/NVIDIA_GameStream.htm
It will be helpful if you can post more information about what you have done so far and why the tutorials did not help.
Thanks

Okay...
Sometimes the steps are slightly incorrect or not truly applicable for some given situation. Bad documentation is a bit of a plague everywhere......
You will need to provide the forum some additional information:
Do you get any operating system or network feedback from the devices involved? Any error code, any message, any screen pop-up? Maybe multiple ports need to be opened...
Are you comfortable logging into your router and making configuration changes?
What port are you trying to forward and for which service/game is the port being forwarded for?
What firewall, if any, are you using?
Are you familar with commands such as "ipconfig", "ping", "nmap", etc....?
Those are commands that can be used to check for open/closed ports and the overall status of your network.
However, before gettng into all that it would be best if we can narrow down what is happening or, more likely, not happening as you expect.
The more specific we can make the problem the more likely a solution.

Is the required Port 12345? Seems to be from what I could find via a google on "Cube World - Port Forwarding.
Seems to be quite a few tutorials about how to set it all up.
About all I can suggest at this time is to try a couple more tutorials that seem to be the most recent - especially if they are for the Netgear R6300.
You could try this:
nmap www.cubeworld.com -p 12345
My results came back as PORT = 12345/tcp, STATE = filtered, SERVICE = netbus
Your results may provide additional information.
Could be that your ISP is blocking that port or the port is being used by some other program.

The nmap command would be type in via the Command Prompt - you will need administrator rights to do so.
Click the Start button
Scroll to Command Prompt
Right click "Run as Administrator"
Just as you probably do for ping and ipconfig.
If Xfinity is not blocking the port as they stated then the next step is to find what if another program is using the port....

Apologies....
Just realized I did not think to ask if you had nmap.
http://www.wikihow.com/Run-a-Simple-Nmap-Scan
You can use either the Zen interface or the command line mode as I did.

Nicely done.
Now go back to the link in my original response and follow the router instructions to forward port 12345 requests to your PC. You will be using the Internal IP address of your computer for the incomplete (192.168.1.___) Internal IP address shown in the tutorial.
Just be aware that if you are using DHCP then your computer's IP address may be changing depending on when any other devices are turned on.
To get around that problem set up a static IP for your computer via the ethernet/wireless settings. Then, on the router, use the computer's MAC to reserve that static IP address for your computer.

I just had to reserve my static ip. Make my ip my WAN ip. Then i bridged my modem and my ip address became public 😀
