What's great about it: projected all my Samsung tablets and phones onto my hdtv.
What's not so great: It should cost $25. It feels cheaply manufactured. It is smaller than my galaxy note 3 battery.
Samsung has found a way to jam it's customers with this "dongle key", a separate program you need to buy to get another working, in this case the screen mirroring function is useless without purchasing the hub or a TV priced like a used car. I hate to trash Samsung, I really like their products. Make the stuff compatible with any DLNA TV right out of the box... ugh!!

Do I need a wifi network to use this?
I don't have wifi at my house and my phone is not a hotspot. Can I use this device to mirror my phone (including internet) onto my tv?
You do not need any wifi or internet period. The hub serves as a device to screen mirror (project) your Samsung products to any HDMI TV. Short answer is yes.
