Remote control

Being interested in video astronomy my current setup is :

Win10 laptop (telescope control program) ← USB ←→ RS232 → SW mount SynScan hand control
+
Win10 laptop (video capture program) ← USB → Video camera

The laptop has built-in Bluetooth connectivity.

I would like to explore the possibility of operating the telescope and camera remotely (say within a 50 meter range) by replacing both USB cable connections with a WiFi link but still using the same telescope control and video capture programs on the laptop. Can this be done?

Any suggestions will be gratefully received.
