200ft is pushing the distance at which wireless works well. I think you'd end up with issues. A point to point system might be a better option for you. I'll post a couple links off amazon. I'm not recommending them as I've never used them but I think you'd have better results going like this:

There's many different types of these systems so I'd do your research first.
I know I've tested my outdoor orbi at around 150ft (outdoor, direct line of sight) and barely pulled 10mbps. thats why I think you'd be stretching it at the 200ft.

Thanks for the tips. Was hoping to avoid running power to the mast but will add this to my options.
