WPA2 Personal - AES Passphrase Length Restrictions?

Jeffrey
[FONT="Courier New"][SIZE="3"]I'm setting up a Wireless Network on my new SG125 with an AP55 for the first time:

When using the Encryption Mode "WPA2 Personal" and then selecting AES for the encryption algorithm under the "Advanced" section, what is the maximum number of characters that can be used (processed successfully) for the Passphrase/PSK?

I would like to be able to use something as long and as random as possible.[/SIZE][/FONT]

    Are you sure you are being realistic, somebody or bodies have to enter that value to get access to your WIFI network.

    [FONT="Courier New"][SIZE="3"]Of course. [:)]  I wouldn't use all 63 (unless it was just me using it), but it would be a substantial value in length.  One of AES's only weaknesses is the length of the passphrase used, so the maximum allowed length was important to me to find out.  I will just have to consider now how long of a passphrase I intend to use based on where I live and how frequently I plan to change it.[/SIZE][/FONT]
