blocking device
I want to be able to block a particular device during hours after midnight. However, when I go to advance settings/security in my account, all the options are greyed out so i can't amend any of them...

Yes you can change Orbi to router mode but you should then set the Virginmedia router to "Bridge", "Passthrough", .. or similar modes depending on the router model that you have. Do you have the manual and access to the router? If not then you'll need to check with Virginmedia how to bridge the router or if better if they can change the router to a simple modem with no routing functionality.
