I've tried different browsers but no change.
For an 'attached devices' table to not show the attached devices is rather disappointing - they are all on wireless so the devices should all know exactly what is connected. Is this just a poor implementation by Netgear, or is it a bug?

I think it's a little of Column A and a little of Column B. At the low-level, each of the Orbis should have a ARP and MAC table where they know what MAC addresses are attached to which interface, and what MACs map to what IPs. It's the gathering and parsing of this information across multiple switches that may have some bugs in the implementation. Competitors (certainly in the enterprise space) easily get this right; it must not be a high-priority for NG to fix.
