If you're a level 4 Fighter, you should almost certainly get to level 5 before doing any multiclassing. You need that Extra Attack more than you need one level of anything else.
That said, taking some Rogue levels might be fun. Sneak Attack works with ranged weapon attacks, which you're already doing a lot of as an Arcane Archer, and if you take two Rogue levels you get Cunning Action, which can help you stay at a comfortable range away from enemies.
I’m a little late here, but for an arcane archer, level 5 is a must as wagnarokkr said. I’d go even further and say level 7 for curving shot, which is really the power where an arcane archer shines. And then if you do multiclass, be careful of other classes that will compete for your bonus action.
Level 5 for extra attack. Level 6 for fighter ASI. Level 7 for Curving Shot. Then... Wizard? Assuming your Intelligence is decent. At the very least, Wizard will give you a lot of utility options. And, if your Intelligence is high enough for a good Casting Modifier, you'll have an array of buff, debuff, control, and damaging spells. While most of them will compete with your Action, it will be nice to have that versatility, as well as something other than a basic attack after the Arcane Shots run out.

I am playing a level 5 arcane Archer and was thinking about some multi classing to add some spice to the character so does anyone have any ideas.
