To set up your router to allow external access to the web station of your Synology DiskStation, you will need to configure port forwarding on your router. First, log in to your router's admin interface and locate the port forwarding settings. Then, create a new port forwarding rule for the port used by the web station (default is port 80 for HTTP and port 443 for HTTPS). Set the internal IP address of your Synology DiskStation as the destination for the port forwarding rule. Once the port forwarding rule is set up, external users will be able to access the web station of your Synology DiskStation using your public IP address. Keep in mind that enabling external access may pose security risks, so make sure to implement strong password protection and consider using HTTPS for secure communication. **
