CA is entirely controlled by the carrier, but you can limit your modem to only certain bands, but if they aren't available on the tower side theres nothing you can do about that.

Not sure if the Foxconn T77W968 Dell DW5821E version is locked to Dell laptops only, or it can be used freely in routers??
