kommunikationsfähige Netzwerkkomponenten
Explanation:
"IP-fähige Geräte" is not wrong but may not be understood by everyone.
IP = Internet protocol
This is the most widely used communications protocol in computing.
"Geräte" is seldomly used in computing texts, it reminds a little of gardening. Components is preferably used.

agree  Chris Rowson: Yes, it refers to devices which can handle IP addresses (TCP/IP addresses, Internet Protocol addresses). These are the 123.123.123.123-format addresses that the Internet runs on, humanised into www.whatever.xyz. Maybe Internet-fähig.
