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.  


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

@J-R-C 

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.
