How do you connect all the devices to your network?
Dice ai dispositivi qual è la tua rete.
It tells the devices what your network is.
✕Common Mistakes
Dice ai dispositivi *quale è* la tua rete.
Do not write *quale è*; the correct interrogative form is *qual è* (no final *e*).
Dice ai dispositivi qual è *tua rete*.
The article *la* is required before the possessive adjective.
*Dice* ai dispositivi qual è la tua rete.
When the subject is implicit, you can also use the impersonal *si dice*; but *Dice* alone is fine only if the context already defines the subject.

Cultural Tip
In technical Italian, verbs like *comunicare*, *informare* or *indicare* are often preferred over *dire* because they sound more precise. Also, avoid mixing *qual* with a definite article; the correct form is *qual è* (no accent on *qual*).
