I've seen several singal boosters that work with various bands, but none that work with 66. I've also seen where people say that band 66 is essentially the new band 4, so any booster that works with b and 4 should work if your phone is on band 66. I wanted to check here and see if anyone has found a model that will work with band 66 for sure.
band 66 is just a slight extention of band 4. If booster is goign to boost band 4 it will boost band 66.
Awesome, thank you!
The Verizon LTE extender 2 will do Band 66, however Verizon refuses to turn it on because of an
Obscure FCC rule, i've called dozens of times and open numerous tickets, but they will not turn it on as of right now
But Band 66 on your extender will make your newer iPhone auto-connect, rather then having to do it manually
Cell boosters are amplifying a frequency, not a “band”. 66 is a superset of band 4 using the same frequency. Boosters sold for the US are usually universal and amplify all these frequencies:
Band 66 is using the same 2100 MHz frequency as band 4 and would be amplified.
Thanks for the concise explanation. This post helped me determine the correct booster to purchase for my area.

Feel free to share what you ought and from where. I’m sure others will find it useful.
I'm having the same issue finding a band 66 solution,
And preferably band 66 and ONLY band 66 because I have absolutely no control over what band my Verizon devices choose to use other than controlling signal strength.
My phone keeps linking to over congested bands 13 and 5 .... but there's a band 66 site 30km away it sometimes links to and gets speeds exceeding 25 to 30mbps on the very weak link.
I think I actually need to *JAM the other bands while boosting 66 with a high gain directional antenna. (if jamming isn't possible, I certainly don't want to boost what I'm trying to avoid)

Read the April 11 post. You cannot do what you are asking.
Boosters generally covering many bands does not mean they have to.
In fact, antennas and circuity that are designed for a single band rather than a wide one or multiband are not only more sensitive, but cost less than an undesired wide or multiband solution.
I'm not saying they're available, because the very reason I'm posting this is that I cannot find a suitable singleband device.
But, you're totally wrong that it's "impossible". It's actually pretty simple, relative to a multiband unit.... and would work much better.

I think what you're looking for is a directional booster. (Yagi). (Thank you AutoCorrect for trying to make that Yogi, as in boo-boos big buddy).
either a yagi, or parabolic dish, yes.
yeah, the one band 4 unit says it covers 2110-2155mhz download freq... but band 66 specs say 2110 – 2200mhz
It's pretty close, but if I'm going to shell out $$ I want to be sure.
Thanks!
Lol, yeah, that's a given. Good boosters are north of $500. Real good ones in the $800 range.
it looks like you might be looking at some kind of a custom job. Good luck with that.
Service concerns are not what we want for you. Allow us to help. When did this issue start? Does this issue occur everywhere you go or just at a certain location?

I should also add that your april post seems technically incorrect. Since
"Band 66 is a superset of Band 4. It includes all blocks of B4 plus a few more.
B66 can be broadcasted as B4 with MBFI (multi band frequency indicator) but cannot be done vice versa (B4 -> B66) as B4 consists of fewer blocks."
So a band 66 unit will cover band 4, but a band 4 unit will not cover band 66.
Also, there's many single band units available for band 4, here's a few.
But apparently band 66 is a super set of band 4, a band 4 device won't work for the entire band 66
