Hi There 31MB.
Since you are connecting your La Cie External Hard Disk Drive to your Sony Television set's USB Port, you are not going thru Rogers Ignite TV at all, in fact you can even disconnect your Rogers Ignite TV Box and still have your La Cie Hard Disk Drive connected to your TV Set Right? Yes.
So what you need to do is find the Sony Bravia Instructional Owners Manual for your TV model, and find out how to Browse/View/Watch Pictures and Videos from your External Hard Disk Drive connected to your Sony Bravia Television Set.

How is the external usb drive connected? Is it connected directly to your Sony Brava TV via its onboard usb port? Or are you connecting your usb drive direcly to your rogers ignite modems usb port and accessing it via DLNA? When you access it are you using the ignite tv menus to sesrch for it or the Sony Brava tv menus to find it? Thanks please answer this info as you forgot to include it in your original post so we cant help answer it unless you give us more info.

If this was working before, then you should be able to access the drive the same way you did before you had Ignite - and that's with the TV's remote and by "switching" to the correct input on the TV, per the TV's operating manual. The drive and material on the drive needs to be compatible with the TV's firmware and that should also be outlined in the operating manual for your TV.
It's possible that the USB connector is not making a good connection, so unplug/replug that connector at both ends a few times to get rid of any oxidation that may be present and also make sure that the drive is on/plugged in if necessary.
Likely what is happening here, is that you are now pretty much setting up TWO networks.
If the 825 has all of its features on (DHCP, etc), its creating its own network.
So it gets its WAN connection from the regular ignite network, at 10.0.0.62, which is how you would try to access the router. (assuming it allows setup connections from the WAN side)
It is then running its own network, probably running at 192.168.0.X.
An easy way to confirm this would be with a wired device.
One plugged into the ignite would get a 10.0.0.X address, and one into the dlink would get a 192.168.0.X address.
Anything then plugged in through that router, etc would be FINE to print to the printer.. but anything outside (just off the ignte) would not.
Now its not to say, you cant necessarily still use that.
Its pretty old, so likely does not support a full AP mode.
So what you would want to do, is disconnect it fully from the ignite. Plug in wired to the dlink and browse to its config. Go in there and TURN OFF DHCP on it. Have it stop rolling out addresses.
Then, plug it back into the ignite network, but NOT in the WAN port, but into one of the LAN ports.
This way it will act like a simple switch, with the added functionality with the USB
were you able to with the previous rogers remote?
I know the remote, especially the ignite ones, only cover basic functions.. power, volume, etc for the TV.
Generally those sorts of input changes for the TV, need to be done from the TV remote itself.

Yes, the Ignite TV remote does allow you to change inputs on most TVs through repeated presses of the input button. It also will control volume (up/down, mute) and on/off. However, that's all the functionality that it has regarding TVs. This is because it doesn't have the dedicated "TV" button at the top which would allow for additional functionality like your legacy remote. You will need to use your TV remote for that sort of functionality, or a programmable remote that can handle all your devices. Unfortunately that sort of remote would not have voice control like the IgniteTV remote, so you're probably stuck using at least two different remotes whenever doing things other than watching IgniteTV.
