So I don't have experience with WPA cracking, but if the access point has WPS (the click to connect button) you can sniff handshakes on the network and crack the WPA password it in relatively no time. In my experience this has usually been under 10 minutes.

On most recent firmware, there is an exponential backoff on WPS connection attempts.
