-Note that packets are checked either at the sender or the receiver node, therefore, if at least one of those have AP-Isolation enabled, the communication is forbidden. However we strongly suggest to enable the AP-Isolation on all the nodes in order to prevent wasting of resources. (E.g. send of data over the mesh knowing that it is going to be dropped at the receiver.) +Note that packets are checked either at the sender or the receiver node, therefore, if at least one of those have AP-Isolation enabled, the communication is forbidden.

Therefore if you want to block communications between clients connected to the same access point (actually mesh node) you may want to enable the "class AP-Isolation" function provided by the access point itself.
