Perhaps you could explain the reasons behind wanting to put the satellites on a VLAN. As long as the satellites appear to the router as being connected to the router LAN port(s), the router does not care how data packets flow between the devices.
For example, there could be a managed switch connected to one of the router LAN ports with the switch port being on LAN x. Other managed switches could be connected to that switch and (eventually) the satellites could be connected to ports that are also on LAN x. That was actually the solution devised for how to share WAN and LAN traffic over a single Ethernet cable:
