Explanation

802.11x (Wi-Fi/wireless networking) is the correct choice for this scenario. Wi-Fi can easily cover 200 feet and penetrate one or two interior drywall walls. USB has a maximum practical cable length of about 16 feet. Infrared (IR) requires line-of-sight and cannot pass through walls. Bluetooth (PAN) typically has a usable range of only 30 feet (Class 2) and can struggle through multiple walls. Only 802.11x wireless networking reliably meets the 200-foot, through-wall requirement.
