8-chars is WPA2's minimum Pre-Shared Key (PSK) size; 63 is the maximum.

I have found between 15 and 20-characters, consisting of
numbers, symbols and mixed-case alpha, to be sufficient.

Technically, I don't think 63-characters is any-more
secure than using just 13-chars. But it would take more
than a googol of centuries just to go through all the 8-char
combinations with 20-seconds between tries to keep
the anti-hack timeout from kicking in, so as long as
it's a complex password instead of a dictionary word
or logical sequences, you're probably good.  ;-)
