The Camera will be on the 5V 2A (1.5A continuous) connection.
Educated guess here. Will you be doing this to use the Switch functionality of the D-Link?
If so, you may want to pick up one of these switches.
They run off of 5v and cost less than $10.

As far as your original question, I would not suggest it.
As an RI and FTAA this year, I would have hard time approving it.

The D-Link DAP1522 radio distributed from 2011-2015 is not legal for
