If you can, hard wire it.
I had the luxury of building my own house and integrating the observatory into the home network and I have to say that a gigabit lan is an absolute pleasure. The dome is similarly 50m or so from the house and I had used WiFi prior to the final installation - the final trenching happened a little while after the house build.
Whilst the WiFi worked, the Lan really blew it out of the water when using remote desktop and when transferring large amounts of data. Suddenly I could use the max settings on RDP and now I sit in the office connected to the observatory as if I was in the dome myself without ever a glitch or stutter.
I do have to fess up though; being a video astronomer, I use enormous bandwidth.
