Just crunch the numbers. The dictionary to store all 9 character passwords with all printable characters in is basically impossible to store:
or would take too long to compute on the fly. So unless you have the solution to free & clean energy and aren't sharing AND the CIA/NSA etc know you're hiding it, you have nothing to worry about, apply standard password policies and save yourself a lot of wasted time.

The end goal here is: A friend of mine has invited me to see how secure his WEP network is, with a dictionary-word-based router password.
I just think it's a waste of time to begin with alphanumeric plus symbols when many networks will merely use lower-case alphabetic passwords.
Certainly it's faster to go through dictionary words and then try them with numerical suffixes, versus a brute-force.
