WIFI Repeater Question

Recently we switched to T Mobile home 5G for our home internet. I found the 'sweet spot' in the house for the 5G Gateway, which is unfortunately not centrally located in the house. I have a existing ASUS wifi router which is pretty decent. Signal from the gateway to the center of the house is good, but not so much from the gateway all the way to the other side of the house and garage. My question is, can I return the router to the central location and put it into repeater mode, but maintain a unique SSID for the router? Or do I have to use the SSID from the 5G gateway? Basically what I am wanting is for the router to catch the signal from the gateway, spread it through the house / garage, but let the router manage most of the traffic, not the gateway. TIA

OSU Gametime - GATEWAY

Long time user of Gateway Hotel for football weekends. Usually never an issue. We love staying at the same hotel as the team.

They changed their policy this year and want to run the card 3 weeks ahead of the game weekend, or you lose your reservation. Was not an issue for UNI and Iowa that got announced early.

But the OSU game time may not get announced for another week? (or two). If it is a night game at 6 pm, I need to hold the Saturday, but could let Friday go. Reverse that for an 11 am game. I have to let them know by this Friday (3 weeks).

Any thoughts? Anyone else deal with this? I assume that any website that predicts game times is a crapshoot right now since no one knows if we are any good.

Sport Bars with ESPN + in Des Moines

Anyone know of any sports bar in Des Moines area that will have the Iowa State - UNI game on their TVs?

I know a lot won’t have the game due to it being on ESPN+.

I can’t attend the game in person because I have a cousin who has severe Asperger’s syndrome. He wants to watch it but can’t handle the excitement of being at JT yet still wants to be around a small group of fans.

FIBA Basketball World Cup

The FIBA Basketball World Cup is going on right now in the Philippines. Iowa State is well represented by players on several of the national teams.

One of the guys I work with lives there, and went to several of the games this weekend. He knows I'm an ISU fan, and just shared a picture from one of the games.

He said Tyrese is very well liked by the fans. Dillon Brooks? Not so much.
