Powerline network adapers are extremely slow with new wifi max hub

[Cal713]

The wifi in my house hasn't been great with my previous provider, so I invested into some mains adapters to run the internet connection to my PC. This worked perfectly fine and I could play games and download updates fairly fast. 

I have recently switched service provider to Sky and got the wifi max hub in hopes to improve the wifi in my house (side note: it didn't so a max pod is getting sent out to hopefully help with that). I know that wired connections will always be better than wireless ones so I still plan to use the main adapters I have already, however, this seems to now be a massive bottleneck and a simple game update of 6GB is scheduled to be 3+ days which should take about 12 seconds on my package plan - I also have terrible ping when trying to play real time games (500-700).

Is there a setting somewhere I need to configure or is this a limitation of the wifi max hub?

Thanks for any help in advance

I can't edit my post yet but I got the timings wrong, but still the download should be about a minute and a half. Not in the realm of 1990s download speeds of 3 days. 
If it makes any difference, the adapters I have are TP-Link that allow up to 1000Mbps

@Cal713 not aware of any incompatability between the SR213 Wifi Max hub and powerline adapters. My own experience is when the adapters start to play up to unplug them and set them up. I have a pair of Devolo adapters I  use with my own SR213 reasonably sucessfully however I only expect between 20 to 40% of the rated speed in prectice.

Thanks, that's helped. I can't believe that as a programmer that I didn't go for the full reset and pair. I had assumed it was alright since I hadn't removed them from when they were paired before (possible the engineer did).
Always the easiest answers. The speeds aren't perfect but as you suggested there is a drop-off in practice.

Cheers!

Just a note as well that you are never going to download 6GB in 12 seconds as you are confusing two units, Mbps & MB/s.

Assuming you are on the 500mbps plan from Sky, this would equate to 62.5MB/s which is unit you need to use to calculate download times. So to download 6GB at 500mbps or 62.5MB/s it would take 1min 36seconds
