A key that is completely random (maximum entropy) without any pattern, using any andom alpha-numeric characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9)...62 possible characters.
WPA-PSK TKIP (RC4)
I am curious how many centuries it would take!

if the key was two characters long an it took the computer one tenth of a second to check each one then the time would be
63 *63 = 396.9 seconds
three characters would be
63*63*63=25004.7 seconds
that is why we have 128 key encryption thr 63*63 stuff goes on for 128 keys !

About +-6 seconds, depending on the Hardware and Software used to do it. Add ANSII and you gain an extra 5 seconds, but there are only so many keys on a keyboard so it becomes an excersize in futility to make a Static Key on anything.
The more locks you put on it, the harder one will work to get past them, this is the nature of any beast.
