How do I disable Cell Relay in Mikrotik ?

I have Mikrotik 2.9.13 running in a WRAP board with an Atheros AR5213 acting as AP bridge. I need to know how I disable Cell Relay in that AP ?

You want to prohibit wireless clients from directly talking to each other? Set default-forwarding=no on the wireless interface.

It is disabled, however some clients can access others.

If they are in the same network, and if your mikrotik has one IP from that network, and both client uses that IP as gateway, they can.

No, they shouldn’t. If the wireless clients are within the same IP network then a gateway would never be used, even if one is configured on the clients. Instead each client will try do directly ARP for the MAC address of the other client and try to communicate directly. The gateway would have no influence on that - at least not on layer 3.
