Yep, looked at the website and it looks like that would fit the bill for you as long as you can setup a suitable method (pinging the router may work, you'd have to make sure your router doesn't have any settings telling it to ignore pings). The only unfortunate thing about this is unless you are using something that can change with your IP address (like using noip, dynip or similar dynamic DNS servers) you will break the service every time your modem goes down/reboots and pulls a new IP address from Spectrum. The 2 dynamic DNS options there I think would require you to be running a PC.
