Pause Internet Access on Virgin Media

It is a truth universally acknowledged that the WiFi router supplied by your ISP is crap. It will be slow, buggy, and have an atrocious user interface. This is especially true of Virgin Media. The Arris manufactured router is so bad that they've released a supplemental app to help you manage your Internet connection.
The app mostly reflects the options in the web UI - but adds one piece of new functionality.
Pause Connection
It lets you, the admin, temporarily suspend the Internet access of a device. Useful! But the only way to do this is from the app.
Rather irritatingly, you can't snoop on the connection as it goes via AWS. So packet capture is out. I tried decompiling the app but got nowhere.
