Wifi router recommendation

Hello,

What wifi router support dual band detachable antenna, minimum 16mb of storage, 2 USB, enough for a VPN or two, WAN/LAN ports

with good hardware, good support with openwrt and if possible not as ugly as the fritzbox

What can you suggest me ?

thank you

With removable antennas, be aware that in many cases the external antennas are only one band, with internal antennas for the other band.

Depending on your budget, I'd also consider an x86 box as a router, one or more APs (either APs, or inexpensive all-in-one wireless routers configured as "dumb APs"), and a managed switch.

Play around yourself with the USB port filter (filter "2x" is not "minimum 2" but rather "=2").

Why the Archer C2600 is not listed ? however it seem to be supported

At least from my reading of the posts here, the C2600 isn't as popular as the high-end Linksys WRT3200ACM, WRT32x, or Zyxel NBG6817 units. If I were looking for an all-in-one wireless router, those would be on my short list.

and, as the FCC is impacted by the shutdown, https://fccid.io/Q87-WRT1200AC/Internal-Photos/Internal-Photos-2558430

If those are dual-band antennas, I don't have more information than what is there.
