Orbi753S - wired backhaul - does it free up the 3rd wifi band for use?

I am lookinga t upgrading my current RBK50 setup to the RBK753. 

 

I really want the RBK852 but the price point of the 753 is perfect for me. 

 

My main question is I have the ability to wire backhaul all the units, and am wondering if that would free up the 3rd wifi band normally reserved for wireless backhaul to be used by wireless devices?

    Orbi systems doesn't free up the 3rd back haul radio. Its there in case something happens and the system can fall back on should the ethernet connection stop or become unusable.
