I have two TL-WA850RE 7.0

Hello,
I have two TL-WA850RE v7.0.
I would like to connect the 2 TL-WA850RE v7.0 with a 50 meter Ethernet cable that would cross several walls impermeable to wifi.

Explanation in black in the drawing:
the box is an NumericVideoRecorder with a private WIFI network that records the cameras.
The camera on the left is connected directly to the NVR's wifi.
The camera on the right will be connected to the NVR via two TL-WA850RE v7.0.

In blue in the drawing, a usual installation.

Is it possible by flashing openwrt 18.06.9 (or lower).on my two TL-WA850RE v7.0 ?

Thank you.

Since 50 meter cable will cost in hundreds
Check this list in your local gadget store

Or ones with even better wifi

In general sense it is better to use (even cheap) full size router in place of 1-antenna access point.

100ds in what currency ?

50m Ethernet cable shouldn't be more than $25-30.

50m sounds more on the shielded side.... Anyway super ancient routers will not offer performance, combined with insecure ancient software...

Your first issue is that the V7 model is not listed:

Would you be able to open one of the them so we can confirm the chipset?

Thank you for your answer.
I see where is the cover of TL-WA850RE but I don't know how open it to see inside the chipset, without boken plastic.
I see nothing on youtube about it.

It is not ancient router but Numeric Video Recorder, it have private wifi and conneted to several wifi camera, it is not connected to internet
