Not conveniently. The AP is at the back of the house, the Pi5 is used
near the front. A neatly-routed cable will be close to 50 feet long, 
with lots of zigs and zags through three rooms. 
Physically, it's possible but not desirable.

If a directional antenna is practical that would be much better.
