Bring your own router - won't connect during initial attempt

Long time Fios customer - great service! I wanted to try swapping out my owned G3100 for a tp-link router. I have 1gb service with Ethernet cable from ONT.
 
I unplugged my G3100, connected the WAN Ethernet cable to my TP-Link, powered on, waited for 5 minutes, and the LED remained red.  

I'm guessing it's something with a breaking the DHCP lease? Do I need to call to release the DHCP release, or should it happen automatically if a different router is found?    How long should I wait before I flip back to the G3100?

PS - Hooking the G3100 back up works great, so there's NO rush on this.

Thanks!
