It depends on the specific router and WiFi extender you are using. In general, Ethernet cables have a maximum recommended length of 100 meters (328 feet) for standard Cat 6 cables. However, it is possible to extend this distance using active equipment such as signal amplifiers or repeaters.

If the router and extender both support Power over Ethernet (PoE), you may be able to use a PoE injector or switch to power the extender over the Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for a separate power connection.

It's important to note that the longer the cable, the more signal loss you will experience, which can result in a slower connection and potentially dropped packets. To minimize this, you should use high-quality Cat 6 cable with a low attenuation rate, which will help to preserve the signal over longer distances. Additionally, it is recommended to use shielded cable, which can help to reduce interference from external sources.

In order to ensure optimal performance, it's also important to use a reliable and high-quality router and extender that are designed to work together. It's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's specifications and consult the documentation to see if the devices are compatible and what the recommended maximum cable length is.

In summary, it's possible to use a 200' Cat 6 ethernet connection to a remote wifi extender but it depends on the router and extender you are using. It's recommended to use high-quality Cat 6 cable with a low attenuation rate, shielded cable, and a reliable and high-quality router and extender that are designed to work together.
