Will a 2012 MBA wifi antenna work with a 2014 wifi card?

I'm getting a "Wifi: No hardware installed" with an X over the wifi icon in the Menu.

Even after I swapped the original Airport card with a second one. Neither one works. The original worked up until a short time ago. I hadn't used the Air for a few months, but when I started it up the Airport wasn't recognized.

Also, should mention that Bluetooth works fine.

Could it be the Airport cables?

I use a Netgear router with a Macbook Air 13, and the internet is very slow with it, and the connection is always disconnected and back on.
