Why is it feminine?

Rede is feminine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "rete" (a net), which was a neuter noun in the third declension. In Portuguese, many neuter nouns from Latin evolved into feminine forms, particularly those that developed an -e ending. The word "rede" follows this pattern of neuter-to-feminine gender shift common in Romance language evolution.
