The Connectivity plugin is to detect the connection status only. It does not have feature to turn on/off the WiFi. To modify the WiFi status:

Android: Refer to How to enable/disable WiFi from an application?

iOS: Not possible for non jailbroken device.

On iOS it's simply not possible, you can use private API but most probably your app will be rejected by Apple :
Is there a way to toggle wifi on and off programatically in iOS?

On Android it's possible with use of WifiManager.
