So I setup another network on my laptop just to see if the antminer's were connected. I was unable to see the antminers on the new network. For some reason the antminers are not connecting immediately after I connect them with an ethernet cord.

Also can antminers connect via wifi without an antenna?

No, that only for configure purpose. Once you can access the configuration page, you need to change the miner ip address.

What IP range is covered by your router? The Antminer needs to be set to a fixed IP in that range. If your router is at 192.168.1.1, then the Antminers can be at for example 192.168.1.91 and 192.168.1.92 (assuming that your router supports this range of addresses). If your router is at 10.0.0.1 and can cover 99 addresses then you'll need to set the fixed IP address to for example 10.0.0.91 and 10.0.0.92.
First you need to check your LAN/Router configuration, and select a couple of free, fixed addresses in the subnet supported by your router.
If you cannot find the antminer(s) on your LAN using the network scanning tools, you may use an 'isolated' PC, which is set to a fixed IP address (disable DHCP and set it to something in the range supported by the factory reset antminer, say 192.168.1.1). This PC is connected directly by cable (ideally a crossover cable, but most modern PC ethernet ports would cope with a 'straight' cable as well) just to one Antminer at a time. Power on both PC and antminer (they will not connect to the internet, just to one another). Enter the antminer IP address (if it was just factory reset, that would be 192.168.1.99, unless there is something else written on the sticker on the front) into your browser, and configure the antminer to the desired 'final' IP address. Do the same for the 2nd Antminer (but use the second free IP address in the final range that you need for your LAN).
Now change the PC configuration back to normal and connect the antminer(s) to your LAN. You should be able to log into your Antminer(s) now by entering the fixed IP address(es) that you set in the previous step.
If you followed the guides carefully you would have been mining already.
