I don't think there is anything 'wrong' in saying "operates in the 2GHz 
spectrum". Saying 2.4GHz in documentation seems like it might be a
good idea as it's more common usage, but it seems wrong to say "2.4GHz
spectrum", it seems like "2.4GHz band" would make more sense if doing 
this. (But then mixing 'band' and 'spectrum' would also be weird so the
references to 5GHz would need changing to 'bands' (not 'band' there as
there are 3 non-continuous ranges). Is it worth it? I don't know.
