"Spectrum cable modem" is not a useful description of anything
Maker? Model number? Is it actually a modem, or is it a modem+router?

Too vague to be useful. Are you trying to say that the address you
get from canyouseeme.org is a public address, or that the actual
WAN/Internet address of the router matches that address, or what?
> [...] the remote management router screen defaults to https [...]
Only "https://" should work remotely, not "http://".
If you're actually doing things correctly (which is not clear), and a
time-out is all you can get, then you might try loading a
different/older firmware version.
