You cannot do anything like that with selenium. Selenium is a browser automation tool. You can only do stuff, what you can in a website.

As far as I know also Java API cannot do that. Just run a bash script as @Adnan Isajbegovic suggest.

For mac:

String[] env = {"PATH=/bin:/usr/bin/"};
String script = "sudo ifconfig wlan0 down";
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(script, env);

With windows you can use cmd commands to turn off internet:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c ipconfig /release");

later, you bring it back with:

cmd /c ipconfig /renew
