In a particular embodiment, a method provides receiving an access request for the wireless device to access the home wireless network and transferring an authentication request for the wireless device to an authentication system. The method further provides the authentication system receiving the authentication request, determining that the wireless device should not be allowed to access the home wireless network, and transferring a negative authentication response to the network controller. In response to receiving the authentication response, the method provides the network controller transferring a negative access response to the wireless device. In response to receiving the access response, the method provides the wireless device blocking the use of a Preferred Roaming List by the wireless device to access nodes of the network controller.
