I assume you have an Internet connection at home. If so, I would
definitely get a router, as you'll probably want the Squeezebox to be
able to access the Internet for 'net radio, either with or without
using SqueezeNetwork. For that you'll need a device on your network to
do NAT - network addresss translation - which is a simple means of
having multiple devices share an Internet connection with a single IP
address.
SOHO Internet routers are pretty ubiquitous these days, especially the
wired-only ones. Some will have more capability than others - better
firewalling perhaps, or maybe a nicer user interface. Some offer a
means of connecting a printer ("print server").
But I've always liked the D-Link gear and have had excellent results
in about a dozen installations, from homes with two PCs to small
offices with up to 10 machines. Something like the DI-604 (same one
fathom39 recommended in the other thread) on the following page would
be all you need:

This is a device you can easily buy used off of eBay:
