Re: Would this encryption be stong enough?

So, to generate a password from that site I would need to refresh the page, and copy/paste a password, and then log into my router and then take one of those generated passwords and change the password I currently use to a generated one?

Yes, that's correct.

You can use the first 16-20 though. No one will crack that for quite a while.

I highly suggest making any changes on the router using a hardwired Ethernet connection. That way if you screw something up in the wireless configuration you can easily change it or fix it.

Lastly Windows 8/7/Vista/XP all have a feature called Windows Connect Now that allows you to write the wireless configuration to a USB flash drive. You can then take the flash drive to any other Win 8/7/Vista/XP computer and automatically configure its wireless profile for your network. If the client can not use wcn, ie. like a MAC or Linux client for example, the wireless key is in plain text in the \Smrtntky\Wsetting.txt file on the flash drive. Simply copy-n-paste to the client.
