You've got a couple options. If you like having the added coverage for your wireless, just log into each device and setup their own ssid and place their wireless radios on different channels. this limits interference and keeps them functioning well.
if you've got plenty of coverage with just the R6700, you can always disable the wifi on the spectrum device.
Or if you want to get more complicated, you can place the spectrum router/modem in modem only mode, and turn routing mode back on the R6700.
