While it probably would, Spectrum CAN get fussy when non-approved devices connect to them. First when you install it you'll need to call them to 'approve' the MAC address and make it useable. I've heard stories from others that they refused to do that as the device was NOT on the list of approved devices, others where the phone agent did it without question, and still others that it was connected at first and some time later disconnected from the network and they couldn't get it authorized again.
That is also a $400 modem from Amazon. Even if Spectrum charged $10/mo. for wireless that would take 40 months to recover the cost. Not a wise investment in my book...
