"No Service" on WiFia with good signal.
I hope someone can explain what is happening with my service. We travel from state to state and at several parks strange things happens to our connections. -In 1 area my Sprint WiFia would show 2-...

Sounds to me like issues with your MiFi device assuming that's what you have. Not sure what a Wi-Fia is but I am guessing you really have a MiFi device. The MiFi sends out a signal to your other computers via WiFi just the same way that a campground would provide WiFi from their router to your computer.
A no signal message would mean that the MiFi device is not seeing ANY usable signal from the tower and this should not change while staying at the same location unless someone moves in between you and the tower or your device is overheating or having some other issue which causes it to shut down for a period of time before becoming usable again. Be sure it's out of the sun as that's a killer!
When the MiFi device is showing that service is available, the number of bars is not a determining factor with speed. More bars "can be" better but is not the #1 thing that would let you know whether you should be getting great speed or not. You can be on a fully loaded tower with 4 bars and the speeds can stink and you can be on a lightly loaded tower with 1-2 bars and the speeds can be excellent.
This is also vary by time of day and whether it's a weekend and all the kids are on their computers and phones. Evenings can be the worst as everyone is home every where and they are all on their devices, many of them streaming Netflix and the like.
