SXK80 Satellite issues with managed switch/VLANs

Stumped here. Here's my setup:

Currently running pfSense firewall router (via a mini PC) connected to a TL-SG1016DE managed switch with a SXK80 router and satellite system in AP mode. I have 4 VLANs (5 if you include VLAN1). set up. On the SXR80, I have 2 VLANs on 2 separate SSIDs while keeping the main SSID on VLAN1. WAN port is the trunk port connected to the switch (assigned with VLAN1 profile). I don't use the ethernet ports on the SXR80 for anything except to access the management UI.

Right now, everything works. I can surf and when I put up the appropriate block firewall rule in pfSense, it'll kill the internet as expected. Connecting to the SSID will yield the correct IP range based on the assigned VLAN profile. 

I've come to a few problems though:

1. UI says no internet even though there clearly is. 

2. Router lights up magenta.

3. Satellites light up magenta even though it's right next to the router.

4. Netgear insight app cannot find the SXR80, presumably because it "doesn't have internet" 

5. Satellites are listed under Attached Devices. Appears to be linked to the router. But they do not show up under VLAN/Bridging so I cannot adjust the VLAN profile on the ethernet ports of each satellite.

6. Not sure if I'm reading this correctly but under Attached Devices, it appears that the satellites are connected directly to the router even though I have 1 router and 2 satellites in a straight line from the front of the house (router) to the detached garage (last satellite). Hence the last satellite has a "fair" connection and sometimes lose connection even though there is a satellite in between (shows good connection). The satellites are around 40 feet apart.
