I am using FIOS G1100 router. Only a desktop is connected to the router physically, and all other devices are wifi. There is one wifi repeater upstairs in my bedroom, but still I see multiple weak spots in the three story house, including basement. As the internet speed is being upgraded from 100 Mbps to 400 in a month, I consider replacing the current repeater with better one. Among several options, I stumbled upon Verizon's own extender.

All features are almost the same with other devices, but there is one that might make this work better than others.
"Incorporates Self Organizing Networks (SON) functionality, including Band/Access Point Steering enabling devices to move seamlessly between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals and between access points for the best Wi-Fi connection available"
I wonder how critical this is and if it has practical advantage over other wifi extenders.
