Distance
The range can reach up to 1000 feet with no interference. According to the manufacturer, the distance can reach 800 feet in a real-life situation, which is still plenty.
You must consider what kind of interference you will likely have between the wireless push button and the receiver. How many walls do you have in between? How many electrical items? What about other wireless devices? They will also cause interference.
It is a good option if you are looking for a long-range, but there are better long-range wireless doorbell options.
Melodies
The TeckNet Wireless Doorbell has 32 tones to choose from and 4 volume levels.
The 4 levels range from 25dB to 85dB in terms of volume, so it is not the loudest wireless doorbell but loud enough for most homes.
Weather Proof
The ingress protection rating is less than other wireless doorbells. Sure, it is a great-looking wireless doorbell, and the TeckNet Wireless Doorbell is likely to withstand a downpour, but if rain is common in your climate, then you will need a better waterproof wireless doorbell.
Installation
Installation is very, very easy.
Plug the receiver into a power socket, and match the receiver to the wireless doorbell chime before sticking (or drilling) the push button to your doorframe.
It is that easy!
The push-button requires 1 23A 12v battery if you even need a replacement. More details about which wireless doorbell needs which battery can be found here.
No battery is needed for the receiver as it simply plugs into a power outlet.
Warranty
The TeckNet Wireless Doorbell has an excellent 18-month warranty.
With an 18-month warranty, you can be sure that you are buying a quality wireless doorbell.
If you choose the TeckNet Wireless Doorbell, you will also receive free lifetime customer support on the product.
*We have had reports from a user regarding the TeckNet customer service team. “Their customer service team is non-existent.” This user had issues with the push button. You can see the full comment in the comments section below.
Conclusion
While reviewing the TeckNet Wireless Doorbell, we found it an excellent, cheap wireless doorbell option that looks great and has some fantastic features.
The only drawback is the waterproof rating. Wireless doorbells tend to have IP33, IP44, or IP55 waterproof ratings at the lower end of the scale. So again, if you need a wireless doorbell with a higher waterproof rating, other options are available.

Summary
The TeckNet wireless doorbell is a great looking piece of kit which is let down only by the waterproof rating. If you are after a reliable, cheap wireless doorbell then the TeckNet is a good option. If you are looking for a wireless doorbell that will withstand torrential rain, check elsewhere!
I Have a tecknet bell as above and it stopped working after about 6 months , I replaced the battery in the bell press unit and it lasted about 5 days ,this seemed strange, I thought I must have had a faulty battery so again replaced it only for the same to happen again,there has to be a fault in the switch which is draining the battery but Tecknet customer support just did not want to know,I even offered to pay for a new bell press unit so as not to have to scrap the 2 x internal ringers ..thecknet would not even allow me to buy it !!their customer service is non existent …do not buy !!
Hi Martin
Thanks for the comment! Sorry to hear that you are having issues with the Tecknet customer services team. I will update the review with this info.
It does sound like there is an issue with the push button. It is a shame the customer services team did not help!
Kind regards
