These are quite easily setup in both the USG and VMG and then it will guide all the traffic there from all your endpoints, rather than setting manually in each device.
Those prices may not be the cheapest either, Amazon isn't always. I've seen cheaper but there won't be much in it.
At home here, we have Virgin due to TV package but we've switched of their functionality and replaced with our own UniFi kit. It stops them disabling the wireless when they experience issues (as was happening a lot) and also improves the signal so much. Our newish Samsung TV and iPads used to drop off randomly, the TV more than anything. Adding the AC pro immediately stopped that and I now also have control of blocking devices when the kids are naughty....
I should add, with the VMG we do get a lot of issues with the wifi breaking, sometimes before a year's up and sometimes after. They aren't the best for the money but they do have their uses when it comes to a simple router to run hosted telephony.
