Correct. In fact, there is only one "default gateway" per host (PC) and that should remain untouched, pointing at the spectrum stuff.
Every network interface has a gateway setting; and windows is clever enough to change the default gateway to the most recent interface activated, thus the importance of not setting a gateway for the wired network.
We are saying the same thing.
There can only be one active default gateway in an IP based host. This has nothing to do with windows.
A given (IP V4) host can have multiple interfaces, and it can store multiple configurations for choosing which gateway to use depending on which interfaces are marked "active" (although, it really is defined by which gateways are reachable through local interfaces. An interface being active is only one part of this).
At any given moment in time, when deciding where to send an outbound packet, the destination IP of that packet is masked to the subnet of each local interface, and, if there is a match, it is placed on that interface (in an 'outer wrapper' that is determined by the media type). All of this occurs before the host even 'looks at' the default gateway entry; only when the list of active local interface reachable subnets has been exhausted will the host send the packet to the default gateway (via whichever local interface makes the gateway reachable). Again, this is IP and has nothing to do with Windows per se.
So we are saying the same thing: One active default gateway, in this case, with a subnet that matches the active WiFi interface that points to the provider, and one local subnet, with no gateway on that subnet, that is the hardwired Ether to the printer.
