If i use the Ethernet Backhaul, what happens with the Wireless Backhaul?

Will it be disabled? Can it be used by Client Devices to connect?

I'm not showing that anything happens to it. I was hoping it'd be freed up for the 3rd radio to be used. I show through inssider though that its still there as a hidden network. I don't see any options to use it. That's to bad as it was one of the major benefits of ethernet backhaul. Here's to hoping a future upgrade allows us to use it.  Or at least allow us to disable the wireless backhaul so I can use a different device in the 149-165 range without having to worry about any interference.
