The mains network shouldn't be affecting the WiFi. The WiFi is on
2.4GHz, pretty sure the mains network things are less than 1MHz.

That would be a neat trick, given the published data rates.

Old technology powerline networks such as are used for remote meter
reading are indeed around 100 kHz, give or take a few tens, but domestic
powerline stuff has to be much higher rate and can cause FM interference.
High bandwidth "video ready" powerline interferes in the WLAN 2.4GHz
range, as has recently been published by OFCOM (I'm trying to find a link
to the FoI stuff that doesn't go via The Register, who I am boycotting).
