Can you guys suggest an OpenWRT router with following features:
- Support WPA2-Enterprise network
- USB 3.0 support for flash drives sharing etc.
- Dual Band WiFi
- WISP mode will be a plus.
I wish to use as a repeater to connect to a WPA2-Enterprise network and share it via ethernet and WiFi.
Looking for it on cheaper side, thanks in advance.

That is relative, what exactly is your budget. You will not find anything new with openwrt compatible with usb 3.0 port below 8-10k. You will have to either buy a used older model or get something from abroad (via US/Singapore/HK etc).

Try olx, there will be couple of options around 3-4k based on your location. But you need to have patience to get the right one
Olx works if buyer & seller are in same city & can meet physically. Also, for 3-4k you will not get anything much good for running latest openwrt v24.x which recommend at least 16mb rom (32mb & higher preferred) & 128mb ram (256mb & higher preferred) along with well supported wifi hardware (many openwrt supported routers have not so well supported wifi hardware resulting in poor wifi performance on those models).

As i mentioned, you need to have patience. I have seen MIMO Linksys , OpenWRT compatible routers for 3k-4k. These routers had 64/128MB Roms. Or try Marketplace in this forum.
That depends on luck mostly. The most capable openwrt router in used stuff section I have seen here was nighthawk 7000 with some antenna damage but even that won't make much sense when new nanopi r3s is available for around 4k & will leave any router (even new with 15-20k market price) in dust when running openwrt.

Right, it's luck. nanopi has only one port and no wifi. You can get tp link travel router and use openwrt in that case

Which one?
I bought one but it is not supporting openwrt.
AX1500 Wi-Fi 6 Travel Router
The AX1500 Wireless Travel Router is built to be small and light to effortlessly go wherever you do. Create a WiFi network via Ethernet wherever you are.
The Official Banana Pi OpenWRT router is available in Banggood and ships to India. It's pretty pricey though with the full kit over 12k.

There is Mikrotik Hex Rb750Gr3 available on Marketplace in this forum for 2.3k . The routerOS is very capable or you can overwrite it with OpenWRT.
nanopi from 2nd gen onwards have 2 ethernet ports.
He was talking about using a non-openwrt support travel router with a non-wifi openwrt supported device like nanopi.Which one?

Microtik routerOS basically requires doing PhD in networking to fully understand it. Installing openwrt on microtik devices is also not straightforward.
