I actually get 113 down using this kit and my max speed is 115. I don't see what you are on about?
It depends on several factors - the powerline adapter, age of your wires, interference, etc..You must have better wiring. The above was my experience, anyhow.
It matters a lot which circuit you have the powerline adaptor plugged into. Same circuit can see 100s of mb. I have seen 300-500mbps from my 1200 system, currently on different circuits I'm getting 150mbps… Wireless might be a better option depending on interference at those speeds.ñ though.

That's no longer relevant for the latest HomePlug AV 2-certified devices, as these will work over different circuits and still maintain the same throughput speeds.
They average at least 200Mbps these days. It's your house, not the EOP adapters. Most home users wouldn't come close to saturating that with their Internet traffic nor their local area traffic.
Need advise as never used these.One adapter is connected via Rj-45 cable with main ADSl router now what should be connected to the 2nd powerline adapter inorder to get wifi signal ?another wifi modem ?
now what should be connected to the 2nd powerline adapter inorder to get wifi signal
You can connect another Router/modem to the other end and use that to boost the Wifi signal.
This is how I have mine set up so the 5ghz is also upstairs:
Main Telstra Cable Gateway -> Powerline adapter 1 connected - > Powerline adapter 2 in a different room -> connected a Linksys Router to boost signal + Connected to a switch (using the 2nd port)You don't need another Router on the 2nd powerline adapter but if you are wanting to extend your wireless network, you can do that but you'll need another router to broadcast the SSID.
This should help you understand - https://imgur.com/a/3mrDRCTThanks mate.
I'm using one of these and it works well for what it is.
But like the comments above it might not work that well in a older house.
My setup:
Master bedroom with NBN modem
Study area with wifi modem
1 & 2 are connected to each other by powerline kit adapter
I have tested it in both a Queenslander (old style of house) and in a more modern type of house - same performance. I guess it depends on the age of wiring.

Right answer :)
I have been using these units for years in a 33 year old dwelling with newer extensions. Both age and quality of existing wring is one main factor, and distance from the source (ie plug connected to router) is the other.
Always plug directly into the power socket, never a power board or double adapter. This is a major source of complaints, yet with few exceptions, is clearly stated in the friendly setup guide. There are plenty of YouTube videos that can assist if unsure. The beauty of these units is that they are 'pass-through' models and you should plugin your power boards etc into these units and not the other way around.
Ciao for now
Every EOP device I have ever bought has been shit. 2 seperate circuits in your house? Terribly inefficient between circuits. And the speeds even on the same circuit are slow. Make sure whoever you buy from has a good return policy.
Put gigabit ethernet on these all you want, but you'd be very lucky to hit 100mbit using powerline adaptors.
That said, they make for stable connections if your wifi is suboptimal.
