Not sure that I understand this.
The plug is an access point that connects to the Internet over the mains LAN and the plug at the router end. It would not work as a wifi repeater that does wifi to wifi with a router.
So it has to be on the same mains circuit for the wifi to work.
At 200 feet I would worry about the quality of the mains link, and the wifi won't stretch that far either.
I am not familiar with stuff like ringers and video.
