probably not, since you bought a crossover cable to link 2 pcs directly to each other, which is exactly what they are for.
If you get a router, make sure you can use it for your type of internet connection. Also, you can't use your crossover cable to link a pc to the router (which is what they were referring to in the quote you posted), so you'll need 2 regular network cables.
