Merging Subnets

[lmsaeb123]

I am looking for some advice. I have inherited two networks - 192.168.70.0 mask 255.255.254.0 and 192.168.80.0 255.255.255.0

I would like to merge these into one larger network by just changing the subnet. This is because there is a lot of infrastructure setup and I do not want to really change the IP addresses of hosts. Basically, I just want the devices on these networks to be able to be on the same network and talk to each other.

The problem I am having is figuring out what subnet I could use to accomplish this.

Thanks in advance for any help.

If you want to combine these subnets you should use 192.168.64.0 255.255.224.0
