Third party routers will require using the router's built-in tools, rather than Verizon's, to measure your speed at a router level. As far as I am aware, not every TP-Link router has speed testing capabilities baked into the firmware. Tether will only show a speed test button if this feature exists. To rule out the app missing the button, you could log into the router's web interface and check to see if a speed test button exists within.
Verizon's speed test can still be used if you need to measure the connectivity speed between your device (Phone, PC, Tablet, etc) and the Verizon Speed Test Server. It just won't be able to complete a "Router" test anymore without the G1100 or another Verizon router in place.
