Solve : Help me understand laptop Wifi Cards?

Answer»

Hi,

So, i WOULD like to know about wifi card for laptop.
Some of the wifi card i noticed have 2 wired that can be attach to it, commonly white & black.
What are the white & black means, such as + - ?

Then, some of the wifi card only able to be attach with 1 wire only.
Can both of these used on each other? Will it burn the motherboard if incompatible?

Thank you for your time, and sorry for hard time explaining this.Sorry, I did not understand your question. Can you find a picture?
Devices for most computers have some kind of plug or connector, not just two wires.
This is a set of images of Wi-Fi cards.

The Wi-Fi above requires not electrical connections.  Has a RANGE of about 300 yards or meters.

Ok, sorry for the unclear question.
From now on lets use the picture provided in the link by Jason2074.

In the 4 picture, i will use the 2 most bottom wifi card as example.
As you can see, near the screw, you can attach some sort of wire (2 wire) to it, but i found that some card had 1 only.

I'm having trouble describing this ^^
So if a card has just one place to CHOLER a wire, it us the antenna wire. You will have to consult the manual if the wire has been lost. You can MAKE a new one from insulated wire of the the proper length.Between those 2 wire, how do i know 1 of it was the anttena?
If i accidentally connect the wrong wire, will it burn the board?Hi

if you connect the secondary aerial wire the range may be reduced. Most laptops have 2 aerials for wireless, to get the best range, so if the wires plug into the miniature sockets then it doesn't matter which wire you use perhaps try each one and use the lead that gives the longest range/best signal  What about using diff. brand or not compatible wifi card on a board?will it burn the board?No.
They have to all be compatible...otherwise they wouldn't be able to sell them.
