Summary:In one illustrative example, a network name displaying method utilizes a home network list and a preferred network list. The home network list identifies a plurality of home networks, and the preferred network list identifies a plurality of non-home roaming networks. An identification of a selected wireless network is compared with a plurality of home network identifications corresponding to the plurality of home networks. A home network display name is displayed in response to identifying a match between the identification of the selected wireless network and any one of the home network identifications. On the other hand, an alternate display name corresponding to the non-home roaming network is displayed if there is no match between the identification of the selected wireless network and the home network identifications.
