Spectrum Internet subscribers must use an authorized modem to connect to the Spectrum network. Spectrum will provide a pre-configured WiFi router for a monthly cost. Customers may opt to use or buy their router. As a Spectrum Internet user on a New Pricing and Packaging service tier, you will receive a compliant modem that has completed comprehensive certification testing for optimal performance at no additional cost. If network speeds improve and your modem does not support the new speed tier, we will notify you and provide you the option to upgrade.
