In prior versions of Airport Utility one could see both the wired and wireless clients. Now you can only see the wireless clients. Being able to see the wired clients would better help me manage a household with computers, smart TVs, etc -- a mix of wired and wireless. Is the functionality now in another utility or is it just gone?

You can find it from terminal or network utility using netstat scan.
It is not exactly convenient.
You can ping the broadcast address.. so I am using 192.168.2.x ip range.. I ping the address which is used for broadcast.. 255 and it will return results from all the live devices on the network. Although it doesn't tell you what is connected by ethernet and what is connected by wireless.. the ping delay will give you a good idea.. it will continually cycle so press control + c when you are finished.. so as I have shown it starts over again.. The first address with lowest response time is local host.
ping 192.168.2.255

There are other apps you can get.. one of the best is not computer but iOS.. Fing.
That will work well for most people with iOS device on the lan.
