Can the radiation from a microwave effect a Wi Fi router?

Whenever the microwave in the lounge at school is turned on the internet speed slows dramatically. It returns to proper performance almost immediately after the microwave shuts off. 

The two most common theory's we have are. 
1: That radiation from the microwave somehow disrupts the WiFi. 

2: The router and microwave are on the same circuit and when the microwave is turned on it draws power from the router disrupting performance.  
We can not actually see the router it is mounted and plugged in in the drop ceiling.
Both the router and microwave are new. (Purchased within the last year.)

The microwave ovens are known to interfere with wifi connections, because they operate at the same frequency (~2.4 ghz). 
Some ovens are shielded better than others though.

Same thing happens if you have wireless headphones that work in the same frequency range. As you get closer to a running microwave oven, the audio quality will decrease dramatically.
