Pocket Cinema 6K remote USB control

I need to control a Pocket Cinema 6k (G2) remotely and wirelessly. The distance is from a stage to a control booth - far beyond Bluetooth.

The camera is wireless to an ATEM switcher via a Teradek Bolt 6 (which strips camera control from HDMI).

According to the product page, the BMPCC 6K has a "USB-C for External Disks and Ethernet Control"

Can this USB-C port be used with a WiFi adapter and put on the same network as an ATEM switcher for camera control? If so, is this approach described somewhere?

You probably can use a USB-C to Ethernet to connect Network to the camera, then use a Powerline Ethernet adapter to run the ethernet to the location of the ATEM. That way you can use camera control.

I can get ethernet to the camera. However, getting wireless control to the camera via ethernet is my challenge. What components do I need?

Actually, all you need is a USB to Ethernet adapter which is above and a Router and you can connect via WiFi
