For WPA(2)-TKIP you only need one key, the four keys in xWLAN are for
WEP only. I guess those key generaters all have their own way for
generating keys. I get my keys from here:
https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm
I copy one key (63 random printable ASCII characters) and paste it in the
router setup and in the laptop. A key with 63 random characters is impossible
to crack, unless they manage to break WPA like they did with WEP.
