What is LTE and which router do I need to use it?

In short, it’s better than 3G, but not quite 4G.

Where can I get the latest firmware? the firmware on the website for the DrayTek  2862 covers the entire 2862 range so you only need to enter 2862 into the downloads section search box. Note: there are typically 2 versions included in the download a .rst file and a .all file using the .rst will clear the entire configuration! using the .all will retain your configuration and just upgrade you to the version you've downloaded - Always take care before upgrading, backup your configuration and never disconnect the power when updating or interrupt the web browser as this can crash the upgrade rendering your router unusable(bricked).
