The problem is that at high frequencies you will lose LOTS of signal through your coax. Since the WAP is basically at microwave, the cable length that you can run gets short. You might be able to do it, but I will leave it to some of the ham operators on the list to comment on what they think the max length of cable would be. I would not think 50' sould be doable at 2.4 ghz. Perhaps if you bought really expensive fully shielded (foil) coax?
