Capsman for 2 APs is asking for needless troubles (unless it is an educational project).
Problem with wifiwave2 is there is no more 4-address-mode (never again or for now ? Who knows...)
But station mode still exists so you can connect e.g. AX3 to Audience.
You will have to choose which radio to use.
Since those devices are indoor devices and you mention 50m in between, I will also assume there will be at least 2 walls in between.
Could be they will not see each other (or not enough) for a reliable link using 5GHz.
But 2.4Ghz might work although I have my doubts there as well (especially as far as reliability is concerned).
I would try using the 2.4Ghz link for the connection between both devices and then 5GHz radio for the "local" network.
Speed will be determined by 2.4GHz connection between both so don't expect wonders.
Ideally a real CAT5E or 6 cable would be so much more better.
In this case maybe even a set of powerline adapters if there is a power line connection (using same phase) between those 2 buildings.
(usually I am against that solution but if nothing else can be done, it's most of the times better then wireless)
